Notes:               Debt is the entire stock of direct government fixed-term contractual
                     obligations to others outstanding on a particular date. It includes
                     domestic and foreign liabilities such as currency and money deposits,
                     securities other than shares, and loans. It is the gross amount of
                     government liabilities reduced by the amount of equity and financial
                     derivatives held by the government. Because debt is a stock rather
                     than a flow, it is measured as of a given date, usually the last day
                     of the fiscal year.
