METHODOLOGICAL NOTES ON THE COMPILATION OF THE GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF

BULGARIA1

For the compilation of the Gross External Debt, the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) follows the

international standards and requirements set in the "External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and

Users, 2003"2 and in the "Balance of Payments Manual", IMF, 5-th edition, 1993. That ensures

international compatibility of the data on one hand, and on the other hand - consistency between the

external debt statistics and the balance of payments, international investment position and national

accounts. The data on the gross external debt are an important source of information for given items

in the balance of payments and in the international investment position.

The BNB compiles and disseminates monthly statistical data on the gross external debt

presented by institutional sectors.

Publications comprise monthly data on (1) gross external debt stock (2) gross external debt

service and (3) disbursements. Additional analytical external debt data by creditors is disseminated

quarterly.

I. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND CONVENTIONS When compiling the debt statistics, the BNB follows the international definition of gross external

debt - "Gross external debt, at any given time, is the outstanding amount of those actual current, and

not contingent, liabilities that require payment(s) of principal and/or interest by the debtor at some

point(s) in the future and that are owed to non-residents by residents of an economy."3.

The main criterion for a liability to be included in the gross external debt of the country is that it

is issued by a resident and is owed to a non-resident4, regardless of whether it is issued on domestic

or international, money or capital markets. The same principle is applied for transactions - only those

between residents and non-residents are recorded. In the debt tables the BNB records the amount of

tranches actually disbursed, not contingent.

The stock of the liabilities is recorded at nominal, not market value even in the case when they

are in the form of tradable securities. The Gross External Debt of Bulgaria is reported in EUR.

The distinction between short-term and long-term debt is based on the original, not residual

maturity of the liability. The long-term debt5 includes all liabilities with original maturity of more than a

year, liabilities without predefined maturity date as well as liabilities related to direct investment, and

the short-term - those with original maturity of one year or less. All arrears of principals and interests

are recorded as short -term debt.

II. GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT COMPONENTS А. By institutional sectors:

The structure of the gross external debt table by institutional sectors is in compliance with the

requirements of the "External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users, 2003"6, prepared by

several international organizations and published by the IMF.

The main components of the gross external debt tables classified by sectors are General

Government, Monetary Authorities, Banks and Other Sectors. In accordance with the international

statistical standards, debt liabilities related to direct investment (intercompany lending) are presented

separately. The classification by institutional sectors is in compliance with the Fifth edition of the

Balance of Payments Manual (1993). Within the sectors the external debt liabilities are classified by

maturity – short-term and long-term and by instruments.

General Government General Government debt includes: (1) central government debt, (2) local government debt, (3)

debt of social security funds and (4) debt of all nonmarket nonprofit institutions that are controlled and

mainly financed by government units. Public corporations and unincorporated enterprises that function

as if they were corporations (so called quasi-corporations) are explicitly excluded from the general

government sector and are allocated to banks or other sectors as appropriate. The debt liabilities of

the General Government sector are long-term and are classified by instruments – Loans and Bonds

and Notes. Liabilities for which no issue of tradable securities is involved are recorded under Loans.

Loans received by the central government from the IMF are also recorded under Loans. The central

government liabilities on securities issued on the domestic and on the international markets are

recorded under Bonds and Notes, as the principle that only debt owed to non-residents is external

debt is followed.. The item comprises the entire stock of the issue abroad. The part of the issue

abroad, held by residents at the end of the reporting period, is recorded with a negative sign in item

Bonds and Notes, held by residents. The net decrease in the stock of Brady bonds, Eurobonds and

Global bonds, held by residents corresponds to a net increase in the holdings of non-residents and is

reported in the Disbursements table, and vice versa – in the tables on external debt service, as a

principal payment under the Bonds and Notes, held by residents sub-item.

The government securities, issued by the government on the domestic market and held by non-

residents, are also recorded under item Bonds and Notes.

Data sources: The main source of data is the Register of Government and Government-guaranteed

Debt of the Ministry of Finance (before 31.12.2002 the source of that data was the System for Debt

Registration, Service and Management of the Ministry of Finance and the Bulgarian National Bank).

Other sources are Government and Government Guaranteed Debts Depository Directorate with the

BNB, the Central Depository and the banks. The source of data on securities issued abroad and held

by residents are the custodians and the banks.

6 External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users, IMF, 2003 (Bank for International Settlements, The Commonwealth Secretariat, Eurostat, International Monetary Fund, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, The Paris Club Secretariat, The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the World Bank)

36

Page 39: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

Monetary Authorities In accordance with the international methodology on external debt statistics included herein are

the external liabilities of the BNB. The data is derived from the Register of Government and

Government-guaranteed Debt of the Ministry of Finance.

Banks Short-term liabilities of the banks include short-term loans, non-residents’ deposits with

domestic banks as well as other payables to non-residents. In sub-item Deposits are included

deposits in foreign currencies and in leva of non-residents with domestic banks. The net increase in

deposits in the banking system is reported in the Disbursements table, and the net deposit withdrawal

– in the tables on external debt service, as a principal payment under the Deposits sub-item. In

accordance with the External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users, deposits related to

contingent liabilities are excluded7. Long-term liabilities include loans and bonds and notes issued by

the banks and held by non-residents.

Data sources: Data on the amount and transactions on external loans is received monthly

directly from the banks through a statistical form on their external liabilities. Money and Banking

Statistics Division with the Statistics Directorate of the BNB provides monthly data for the Deposits

and Other liabilities items. Source for the data on Bonds and Notes item is the Central Depository.

Other Sectors In the Other sectors item the debt of private and state-owned non-bank enterprises (incl.

Government guaranteed debt) as well as external liabilities of the households are recorded.

Short-term liabilities of the Other sectors include short-term loans, trade credits as well as other

payables to non-residents. Long-term liabilities include loans and bonds and notes issued by the

companies and held by non-residents.

Data sources: Data on financial loans is collected through the statistical Form SPB-4 Report on

the Financial Credit Liabilities of Residents to Non-residents, that covers data on the stock and the

various types of transactions on the credits. As the Foreign Exchange Law envisages quarterly

reporting of these liabilities, for the first two months of each quarter the BNB publishes estimations on

the non-bank enterprises, based on the debt service schedules provided by companies on the loans

extended to them and on estimations. Under the Trade credits sub-item are recorded the respective

liabilities of residents to non-residents8 excluding trade credit liabilities towards foreign direct

investors. Such data are collected from the BNB through Form SPB-6B Report on the liabilities of local

bodies to non-residents. As the Foreign Exchange Law envisages quarterly reporting of these

liabilities, for the first two months of each quarter the BNB publishes estimations for the stock of trade

credits. Data on liabilities of the households is collected through the annual statistical Form SPB-8

Report on the Assets and Liabilities of Resident Physical Persons to Non-residents.

Page 40: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

Direct investment: Intercompany lending

In accordance with the international methodology on external debt statistics a distinction is

made between liabilities owed to direct investors9 (Intecompany Lending) and such owed to other

creditors. Liabilities related to direct investment relationship are separately identified (equity liabilities

arising from direct investment i.e. equity capital and reinvested earnings except nonparticipating,

preferred shares are excluded from external debt). Liabilities related to direct investment are treated

as a long-term debt.

B. By creditors

In accordance with the structure recommended by the External Debt Statistics: Guide for

Compilers and Users quarterly external debt stock tables by creditor sectors are prepared and

published.

C. Public Sector and Private Sector External Debt

In accordance with para. 5.5-5.6 of the External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and

Users, IMF 2003, the public sector external debt comprises of the debt of sector General Government,

sector Monetary Authorities, the public banks, the public non-financial enterprises, as well as of the

government guaranteed debt of the private sector. The private sector external debt comprises of the

banks’ and non-financial enterprises’ debt, which is not included in the public and publicly guaranteed

external debt. The data are monthly.

III. PERIODICITY, FREQUENCY AND TIMELINESS OF THE GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT

PUBLICATIONS The Bulgarian National Bank compiles and publishes data on the stock of the gross external

debt of the country, the debt service payments and the disbursements on a monthly basis. The

external sector debt indicators, including external debt indicators, are also disseminated monthly.

The Bulgarian National Bank publishes the data according to its advance release calendar. In

the case of a change, the BNB informs the users on the new release date at least a week before the

advance date.

IV. DATA REVISION POLICY The data revisions policy of the Bulgarian National Bank is based on the following principles:

(i) Each monthly publication includes revisions of the data for the previous three months, and

each quarterly publication includes revisions of the monthly data for the whole current year.

(ii) When on-going changes are made due to additional information collected, as well as

resulting from elimination of errors, the Bulgarian National Bank timely informs the users through the

monthly press releases, as well as through the notes at the end of the external debt tables.

9 The BNB follows the international definition of direct investment according to which the acquisition of 10% or more of the voting power in the investment enterprise is considered to establish a direct investment relationship.

38

Page 41: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

(iii) When significant revisions are made due to changes in the methodology for reporting of

certain external debt components or for other reasons, the Bulgarian National Bank publishes in

advance information on the changes, in order to facilitate the users of the data.

V. DATA DISSEMINATION The Bulgarian National Bank publishes the monthly gross external debt data on the web site

of the Bulgarian National Bank – http://www.bnb.bg. The data are published also in the BNB Monthly

Bulletin and in the semi-annual and in the annual official reports of the Bulgarian National Bank. Data

are simultaneously released to all interested parties.

amended; issues 97 and 101 of 2010). Data for the purposes of the IIP compilation are collected on the basis

of Article 42 of the Law on the Bulgarian National Bank as well as on the basis of the Currency Law

(Adopted by the 38th National Assembly on 8 September 1999; published in the Darjaven Vestnik, issue 83

of 21 September 1999; in force as of 1 January 2000; amended; issue 45 of 2002, issue 60 of 2003, issue 36

of 2004, issue 105 of 2005; issues 43, 54 and 59 of 2006, in force on the date of entry into force of the Treaty

of Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the European Union; amended, issue 24 of 2009, effective as of

31 March 2009; amended, issues 16, 23 and 96 of 2011) and Ordinance No 27 of the BNB (Issued by the

Bulgarian National Bank on 13 March 2014; published in the Darjaven Vestnik, issue 27 of 25 March 2014).

These data are processed by the “Balance of Payments and External Debt” Division within the Statistics

Directorate of the BNB, ensuring its confidentiality. At present, the Bulgarian National Bank compiles and

publishes the international investment position in accordance with the Sixth Edition of the “Balance of

Payments and International Investment Position Manual” (IMF, 2008) and the “Recommendation of the

European Central Bank of 23 January 2014 amending Recommendation ECB/2011/24 on the statistical

reporting requirements of the European Central Bank in the field of external statistics (ECB/2014/2).

The IIP’ methodology is conceptually related to that of the System of National Accounts (SNA). The

items of the international investment position correspond closely to the relevant categories of the rest of the

world account in the SNA and the Gross External Debt.

There is a close relationship between the International Investment Position and the balance of

payments as well. The BOP financial account measures an economy's transactions in external financial assets

and liabilities, which affect the stock of external financial assets and liabilities measured in the international

investment position.

I. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND CONVENTIONS

The time of recording of the stocks in the international investment position is as of the end of the

reporting period.

Stocks valuations are based on market prices. If the actual market prices are not available, the

average market prices are used as approximation.

45

Page 48: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

Valuation (exchange rate or price) changes of the country’s external assets and liabilities are

included in the international investment position.

The units of account for the international investment position of Bulgaria are the EUR and the BGN.

The conversion into the unit of account is made using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

II. INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT POSITION COMPONENTS

The IIP is the balance sheet of the country’s stocks of external financial assets and liabilities at the

end of a specific period. The primary level of classification in the i.i.p. statement is the distinction between

assets and liabilities. The second level of classification by function is fully consistent with the b.o.p. financial

account. The functional categories of assets and liabilities are (i) direct investment, (ii) portfolio investment,

(iii) financial derivatives (other than reserves) and employee stock options and (iv) other investment.

Included in assets are also the reserve assets held by the monetary authorities. The liabilities in the IIP are a

broader concept than the liabilities that constitute the country’s gross external debt, as they include equity

related liabilities. The third level of classification is by investment instrument.

In the international investment position components are classified in the following main categories:

A. DIRECT INVESTMENT

Direct investment is a category of cross-border investment associated with a resident in one

economy having control or a significant degree of influence on the management of an enterprise that is

resident in another economy. As well as the equity that gives rise to control or influence, direct investment

also includes investment associated with that relationship, including investment in indirectly influenced or

controlled enterprises, investment in fellow enterprises, debt and reverse investment.

Direct investment covers most financial transactions and positions between affiliates resident in

different economies. Investment income associated with direct investment positions is also

included in direct investment.

Intercompany lending is used to describe direct investment debt positions between affiliated

enterprises. It includes debt instrument positions (in debt securities, loans, trade credits and advances and

other accounts payable) other than those between selected affiliated financial corporations (it is not classified

as direct investment because it is not considered to be so strongly connected to the direct investment

relationship). The financial corporations covered by this case are: deposit-taking corporations (both central

banks and deposit-taking corporations other than the central bank); investment funds and other financial

intermediaries except insurance companies and pension funds.

The Direct investment has two presentations: Asset/Liability presentation (used in the international

investment position statistics) and Directional Principle presentation. The directional principle is a

presentation of direct investment data organized according to the direction of the direct investment

relationship. It can be contrasted with the asset/liability presentation of aggregates used in the presentation

of the international investment position, which are organized according to whether the investment relates to

an asset or a liability.

The difference between the asset-liability and directional presentations arises from differences in the

treatment of reverse investment and some investment between fellow enterprises. Under the directional

46

Page 49: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

principle, direct investment is shown as either direct investment abroad or direct investment in the reporting

economy:

(a) Direct investment abroad covers assets and liabilities between resident direct investors and their direct

investment enterprises. It also covers assets and liabilities between resident and nonresident fellow

enterprises if the ultimate controlling parent is resident. Direct investment abroad is also called outward

direct investment.

(b) Direct investment in the reporting economy includes all liabilities and assets between resident direct

investment enterprises and their direct investors. It also covers assets and liabilities between resident and

nonresident fellow enterprises if the ultimate controlling parent is nonresident. Direct investment in the

reporting economy is also called inward direct

investment.

Under the directional principle, direct investment abroad and direct investment in the reporting economy

include both assets and liabilities, and thus, negative values may arise.

Data on both the asset/liability and directional principle bases of compilation are useful for different kinds of

analysis:

• Data on an asset/liability basis are consistent with monetary, financial, and other balance sheet data, so

facilitating comparison between the datasets. These data are needed on an immediate counterparty basis to

adequately monitor flows and positions. For instance, if a jurisdiction of convenience that is the home to

large SPEs (special purpose entities) were to experience a currency or other financial crises, data users would

find data sets that look through SPEs (or that net data for SPEs without separate identification of gross

levels) to be of limited help. SPEs and other entities may transform debt to equity, long-term to short-term,

local currency to foreign currency, fixed to variable rates, etc., and these transformations alter risk

characteristics in important ways.

• Data on a directional principle basis assist in understanding the motivation for direct investment and take

account of control and influence. In the directional presentation, reverse investment can be seen as equivalent

to the withdrawal of investment. The directional principle may be particularly useful for an economy with

large values of pass-through funds or round tripping, because the large investment flows into and out of a

economy may not be of primary interest to analysts of direct investment.

The international investment position uses direct investment assets and direct investment liabilities (so that

reverse investment is not netted in totals).

The BNB publishes FDI data according to both presentations.

Sources: The Bulgarian National Bank receives monthly data on direct investments in the country

from the Privatisation Agency, from the Central Depository, from the reporting system of banks on

transactions between residents and non-residents, from notaries and registry offices; quarterly data from the

Financial Supervision Commission, from the direct investment enterprises, from the Banking Supervision

Department of the BNB, from the insurance companies and pension insurance companies; annual data from

the NSI on foreign direct investment stock in enterprises from the non-financial sector.

47

Page 50: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

For data on direct investments abroad the Bulgarian National Bank uses the information from FDI

declaration forms, from quarterly reports of non-financial sector enterprises and from the reporting system of

banks on transactions between residents and non-residents.

B. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT

Portfolio investment is defined ascross-border positions involving debt or equity securities or investment

fund’ shares, other than those included in direct investment or reserve assets. Debt securities are subdivided

into long-term (with an original maturity of one year or more) and short-term (with an original maturity of

less than one year). The stocks of portfolio investment assets cover securities issued by non-residents and

held by residents. The stocks of portfolio investment liabilities cover securities issued by residents and held

by non-residents.

Securities are debt and equity instruments that have the characteristic feature of negotiability.

Sources: The main sources of information on the liabilities side of the Portfolio investment are the

data provided by the Ministry of Finance, the Bulgarian National Bank, banks and the Central Depository.

Data on the assets side of the Portfolio investment is provided by banks and non-bank custodians (which give

information about their and their clients’ portfolio investments), non-bank financial institutions, insurance

companies and pension funds, the Bulgarian National Bank and the Ministry of Finance.

C. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

The assets and liabilities in financial derivatives (other than reserves) and employee stock options

include positions in forward and future contracts, swaps, options, etc.

Sources: The main source of information are the monetary financial institutions.

D. OTHER INVESTMENT

Other investment covers other equity, currency and deposits, loans, trade credits and advances, and

other accounts receivable/payable. The liability position includes also the SDR liabilities to the IMF.

The Currency and Deposits component presents on the assets side the positions in the residents’

currency deposits held abroad, and on the liabilities side – the positions in the liabilities of the resident banks

to non-residents in domestic and foreign currency.

Sources: The main sources on the asset side are the BIS-Basel and the balance sheet data of deposit

taking corporations and other financial institutions. On the liabilities side data are provided by the deposit

taking corporations and the BNB.

Loans item includes outstanding positions (including accrued interest) on short- and long-term loans

between residents and non-residents (if no issue of a tradable security is involved with these loans).

Sources: Data on the item Loans (assets and liabilities) is received by the Ministry of Finance, the

Bulgarian National Bank, the banks and directly by the enterprises that have lent to or borrowed from

abroad. The companies report on a quarterly or an annual basis to the BNB. The monthly data on Loans,

Other sectors (assets and liabilities) is revised upon receipt of the respondents’ reports.

According to the IIP conventions trade credit arises from the direct extension of credit from a

supplier to a buyer, i.e. this is a credit extended by a trade partner without issue of a tradable security.

Items Other accounts receivable/payable include all transactions on miscellaneous accounts

receivable and payable not included elsewhere and transactions in arrears.

48

Page 51: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

Sources: The main source of information on trade credits and advances and other accounts

receivable/payable (assets and liabilities) are the quarterly reports of enterprises on their assets/liabilities to

non-residents.

E. RESERVE ASSETS

Reserve assets include those external assets that are readily available to and controlled by the central

bank (government) for direct financing of balance of payments imbalances. The reserve assets comprise

monetary gold, SDRs, reserve position in the Fund, foreign exchange assets (consisting of currency and

deposits and securities), and other claims. The entries under this category pertain to transactions in the BNB's

external holdings which are administered by the Issue Department.

III. PERIODICITY, FREQUENCY AND TIMELINESS OF THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS

PUBLICATIONS

The Bulgarian National Bank compiles and publishes the international investment position of the

country on a quarterly basis. The schedule of the Bulgarian National Bank is to publish the data within three

months after the close of the reference period.

IV. DATA REVISION POLICY

Revisions to the preliminary international investment position data are mandatory international

practice. They are particularly important in compiling the balance of payments and international investment

position because of the short deadlines after the end of the reporting period, in which the data is compiled

and published. Various sources (banks, non-bank financial enterprises, direct investment enterprises, the

Central Depository, the National Statistical Institute, etc.) are used for the data compilation. The incoming

data from these sources are with different frequency, timeliness (deadline for submitting the information

after the reporting period) and coverage. The different frequency and timeliness of the incoming information

necessitate these revisions.

The periodic data revisions that the BNB implements are in compliance with the ECB Timetable for

Exchange of Balance of Payments, International Investment Position and Reserve Assets Statistics within the

ESCB (which includes a data revision timetable), as well as with the Eurostat Timetable for Exchange of

data and policy of revisions in the European Union. Observing this policy of revisions ensures the

comparability of statistics between Member States of the European Union and the European System of

Central Banks. These revisions provide users with timely information on the updated data by separate items1.

Following the requirements of the ECB and Eurostat Timetables, the policy on revisions pursued by the

Bulgarian National Bank is based on the following principles:

(i) Each publication might include, if necessary revisions of the data for the previous reporting

period. With the forth quarter data, published in March, and the second quarter data, published in September

of the current reporting year, the timetables give opportunity for revising the data for the previous up to four

years, if necessary. In December with the publication of the data for the third quarter, data revision for the

current and previous years is possible, if necessary.

49

Page 52: GROSS EXTERNAL DEBT OF BULGARIA February 2016 · General government external debt service amounted to EUR 118.3 million (0.3% of GDP) in January – February 2016, compared with EUR

(ii) When on-going changes are made due to additional information collected, as well as resulting

from elimination of errors, the Bulgarian National Bank timely informs the users through the notes at the end

of the IIP table.

(iii) When significant revisions are made due to changes in the methodology for reporting of certain

IIP components or other reasons, the Bulgarian National Bank publishes in advance information on the

changes to facilitate the users of the data.

V. DATA DISSEMINATION

The Bulgarian National Bank disseminates the quarterly IIP data on its web site – http://www.bnb.bg.

The data is published also in the Bulgarian National Bank Monthly Bulletin.

Data on the international investment position of the country is included in the semi-annual and in the

annual official reports of the Bulgarian National Bank.

Data are simultaneously released to all interested parties.
