foreign debts
Overseas financial liabilities
Foreign debts are financial obligations owed to lenders in other countries—governments, international institutions, or foreign banks and investors.
The term usually appears in discussions of national economics: The country struggled to service its foreign debts.
Foreign debt becomes controversial when repayment terms strain domestic budgets or when creditors impose conditions on borrowing nations.
