Between 2014 and 2018, a significant and consistent upward trend in total debt is observed. The total carrying amount of debt grew from US$ 6,872 million to US$ 20,270 million, representing a substantial increase in leverage over the five-year period.

Total Debt Trajectory
The most pronounced expansion occurred between 2014 and 2015, where total debt more than doubled, rising from US$ 6,872 million to US$ 14,250 million. Following a period of relative stability in 2016, debt levels continued to climb, reaching a peak of US$ 20,270 million by December 31, 2018.
Debt Composition and Structure
The debt profile is heavily skewed toward long-term obligations. Long-term debt, net of discount and excluding the current portion, increased from US$ 6,266 million in 2014 to US$ 19,769 million in 2018. This component serves as the primary driver of the overall debt increase, consistently accounting for the vast majority of the total carrying amount.
Short-Term Obligations
Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt remained marginal and relatively stable in comparison to long-term liabilities. These figures decreased slightly from US$ 606 million in 2014 to US$ 501 million by 2016 and 2018, indicating a financing strategy focused on long-term capital rather than short-term borrowing.
