Venezuela: public debt as share of GDP 2010-2016, by creditor type
In 2016, the debt that Venezuela's central government owed to foreign creditors was less than half compared to the amount of debt held with creditors based in the country. While Venezuela's internal debt in relation to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) dropped from 23.8 percent in 2015 to 21.3 percent in 2016, its external debt increased by two percentage points in the same period.
