Summary of Direct Public Debt
Funded and Floating Debt
The following table sets forth the direct funded and floating debt of the Government on the dates indicated. For the purposes of all debt tables herein, "funded debt" means indebtedness with an original maturity of one year or more and "floating debt" means indebtedness with an original maturity of less than one year. Funded debt, and therefore total direct debt, includes swap transactions.
Total direct debt includes a net swap payable ($413.8 million at 30 June 2011) with offsetting impacts on internal and external funded debt. Swap transactions, which are included in almost all the following public debt tables, increase external funded debt and reduce internal funded debt in 2011.
