Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past year, developing countries have started to recover from the 1997-99 global financial crisis. The elements underlying the recovery: strong industrial country growth, robust global trade, and firming commodity prices, should permit more 'self-financing' and more sustainable growth in developing countries than has been the case following previous crises. International capital market flows, however, remain selective and volatile. This publication provides a comprehensive look at external debt and financial flows to developing countries. There are more than 200 time-series indicators for 137 countries, plus regional and income groups. Data retrieval is in spreadsheet or database format and data can be exported in many formats. There is complete data on the external debt and international capital flows of developing countries; country group aggregated data and summary tables from 1970-1998 with estimates for 1999; country time-series from 1970-1998, plus 'pipeline' projections from 1999-2007, for 137 World Bank borrowers.
