Non-Resident Share of Federal Debt: methodology

What this metric measures

The share of Commonwealth Government securities (bonds) held by non-residents, from the Budget's Debt Statement.

Why it matters: Foreign ownership of the debt is a read on how exposed the budget is to shifts in offshore demand for Australian bonds.
