Bond issuance and syndicated commercial bank loans Rising external debt in Sub-Saharan Africa has been accompanied by important changes in external borrowing patterns Increase in financing from non-traditional bilateral creditors and from private creditors Official bilateral and multilateral creditors (60 % of total long-term external debt stock in 2017) still the biggest lender Multilaterals still the most important official lender. However, their share of total long-term external debt has declined to 34 % from 44 % in 2010 a significant change in the composition of external bilateral creditors The Paris Club creditors accounted for just 5 % of the long-term public and publicly guaranteed external debt stock in 2017, down from 20% in China has accounted for over 60 percent of the region’s long-term debt owed to bilateral creditors in 2017.
