outstanding debt
Money still owed
Outstanding debt is money owed that remains unpaid.
The term appears in personal finance, business accounting, and government budgets: The company's outstanding debt exceeds two billion dollars.
Outstanding here means still existing or unresolved—the debt stands out as an obligation yet to be settled.
Paying down outstanding debt improves creditworthiness.
