Montenegro: bonos, índices, calificaciones de riesgo

At 31 March 2010, total general government debt amounted to EUR 1,130 million or 36.3 per cent. of GDP, of which domestic debt made up EUR 410.3 million or 13.2 per cent. of GDP and external debt EUR 719.8 million or 23.1 per cent. of GDP. At the same date, the total amount of outstanding guarantees issued by the Government was EUR 180.2 million or approximately 6 per cent. of GDP. Guarantees are usually only issued in favour of international financial institutions such as EIB, EBRD and KfW in respect of the obligations of state-owned companies for key infrastructure projects such as power sector rehabilitation, water supply and transport infrastructure. The Government has, however, also issued guarantees for certain banks to EIB and KfW as part of its efforts to support the banking sector during the recent global financial crisis.
