For some reason, the numbers don't seem to add up, unless there was considerable rounding. From the looks of things, the grid only represents 11.52 Billion.
I find it interesting that Brazil owns 450M of American debt, rather than the other way around.

I'm curious: Do other countries owe the US a significant amount of money? Or do national debt figures account for that, and show the imbalance in our loans?
Granted, I'm certain we owe much more money than we are owed by any metric.

Hey! Conversations about national debt often make me reflect on personal finances too. A few years ago I had a car loan with a service provider and wanted to understand how billing would work if I needed extensions. Reading mepco reviews at that time gave me a clear sense of how others managed their agreements. Some mentioned smooth setups, while others struggled with customer service. That variety of perspectives helped me prepare better and know what questions to ask before finalizing paperwork.
