Select external debt indicators for Turkey: Short-term, long-term, public sector, ratios. Annual 1965 to 2015, quarterly from 1989.

The International Monetary Fund writes:

Gross external debt, at any given time, is the outstanding amount of those actual current, and not contingent, liabilities that require payment(s) of principal and/or interest by the debtor at some point(s) in the future and that are owed to non-residents by residents of an economy. The main criterion for a liability to be included in the gross external debt of the country is that it is issued by a resident and is owed to a non-resident, regardless of whether it is issued on domestic or international, money or capital markets. The same principle is applied for transactions - only those between residents and non-residents are recorded. In the debt tables the BNB records only the amount of tranches actually disbursed.

The series contain Total Outstanding Debt which is expressed in billions of US dollars. Data are published on quarterly basis and are not seasonally adjusted.

That is, the outstanding amount of a loan is not adjusted accourding to the secondary market change of hands between residents and nonresidents.
