Thread by @i_aldasoro

A now thread in the 4 interactive graphs we produced for this article. In this thread I provide quick videos introducing each of them. I wanted to hire Sean Connery to narrate, but then I learned the sad (old) news he passed away, so you'll have to bear with my dreadful voice 😊

The first graph provides a big picture view of NFC debt, considering NFCs as ultimate issuers (that is, including issuance done by affiliates of said NFC which may not be NFCs themselves). It is a movie of amounts outstanding over time & you can select/unselect country groups 2/

The 2nd graph gives a time series of net issuance of IDS & amounts outstanding, split between "onshore" & "offshore" (more info in Box A in article). Again you can dynamically select/unselect stuff & a drop down menu allows you to choose country aggregates & lots of countries 3/

The 3rd graph allows you to see how debt gets reallocated by sector, eg how much of the debt of NFCs as ultimate issuers is actually done through say NBFI affiliates. Again, a dropdown menu allows you to select country (groups) & hovering over the graph gives more details 4/

The 4th graph is all about offshore debt; it allows you to see where do NFCs headquartered in different country groups (& for selected EMEs & AEs) issue offshore (data as of end-Q1 2021). It combines a movie with a drop down menu, and provides more info when hovering over it. 5/

To close: you can download all the data underlying these interactive charts! Make sure to also visit the BIS website where much more data can be obtained! This can be of interest as well for academics working and teaching on related topics (@m_maggiori @helene_rey @skalemliozcan)
