Digital currency exchanger
1 Some digital gold currency accounts, such as e-gold, do not provide an in-house service to
purchase their private currency so it is necessary to use a third-party digital currency exchanger. According to e-gold's website the
reason they do not provide an in-house exchange service is so there can be no debt or
contingent liabilities associated with the business, making e-gold Ltd. free of regulatory risk. They claim e-gold Ltd. does not possess currency of any nation or even have a bank
account.

External debt - Definition
1 ;Current and Not Contingent: Contingent liabilities are not included in the definition of
external debt. These are defined as arrangements under which one or more
conditions must be fulfilled before a financial transaction takes place. However, from the viewpoint of understanding vulnerability, there is analytical interest in the potential
impact of contingent liabilities on an economy and on particular institutional
sectors, such as government.

IAS 37 - Contingent assets and liabilities
1 IAS 37 generally defines contingent assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities that
arose from past events but whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of
future events that are not in the entity's control. It establishes that contingent assets and liabilities are not to be recognized in the
financial statements, but that contingent liabilities are to be disclosed as long as the chance that they would cause outflows of
resources is not insignificant.
