Short-term debt
The short-term debt exhibits fluctuations over the reported years. It increased substantially from 500 million US dollars to 2,044 million US dollars between 2020 and 2021, followed by a slight decrease to 1,945 million US dollars in 2022. Subsequently, it declined significantly to 914 million US dollars in 2023, then rose again to 1,364 million US dollars in 2024. The data for 2025 is unavailable. Overall, the short-term debt shows volatility with a peak in 2021 and a notable reduction by 2023 before a modest rise in 2024.
Long-term debt
The long-term debt demonstrates a generally declining trend from 15,226 million US dollars in 2020 to 13,270 million US dollars in 2024, marking a reduction over the five-year period. However, there is an uptick in 2023 with the amount rising to 14,484 million US dollars from 13,537 million US dollars in 2022. The 2025 value increases again to 14,811 million US dollars. This indicates some variation, with a downward trend overall but intermittent increases in certain years.
Total debt (carrying amount)
Total debt remains relatively stable throughout the years, starting at 15,726 million US dollars in 2020 and fluctuating slightly within the range of approximately 14,600 to 15,800 million US dollars up to 2025. The total debt decreased moderately from 15,726 million in 2020 to 14,634 million in 2024 but then marginally increased to 14,811 million in 2025. This stability suggests that despite changes in the composition of short-term and long-term debt, the overall debt level has been maintained within a consistent bandwidth.
