Ir ļoti grūti saprast: te (http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/leslie-cuadra/2011/08/31/list-of-worlds-largest-creditor-and-debtor-nations) bija runā par "NIIP", kas ir "... defined by a country’s total domestically owned assets minus its foreign owned assets."

Tikai, cik es saprotu, "aktivi", bieži, nozimē "aizdevumi" (a banks loans are an asset on its balance sheet).

Also, on the IMF map, are we talking about just state debt from the issuance of treasury bonds, or debt held by private individuals?

Ja godīgi, jo vairāk es uzzinu par šo, ja mazāk es saprotu.
