As of March 31, 2019, the total outstanding direct domestic debt of the Republic was ₱5,196.8 billion, 8.8% higher than the ₱4,776.9 billion recorded as of December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in treasury bonds/notes by 7.2% from ₱4,281.6 billion recorded as of December 31, 2018 to ₱4,588.3 billion as of March 31, 2019 and an increase of 22.9% in treasury bills from ₱494.3 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ₱607.6 billion as of March 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2019, the total outstanding direct external debt of the Republic was $49.5 billion, 3.4% higher than the $47.9 billion recorded as of December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in external issuances of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds by 3.7% from $24.8 billion as of December 31, 2018 to $25.8 billion as of March 31, 2019. External loans also increased by 4.2% from $18.0 billion as of December 31, 2018 to $18.8 billion as of March 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2019, the total outstanding guarantees of indebtedness by the Republic amounted to ₱479.7 billion, 1.6% lower than the ₱487.6 billion recorded as of December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in both the domestic and external Government guarantees from ₱197.5 billion and ₱290.0 billion, respectively, recorded as of December 31, 2018 to ₱191.3 billion and ₱288.4 billion, respectively, recorded as of March 31, 2019. These figures for domestic and external Government guarantees include both debt originally guaranteed by the Government and debt guaranteed by other public sector entities for which the guarantee has been assumed by the Government.
