What is 18-K?

Form 18-K is the annual report for foreign governments and their political subdivisions, such as provinces, that have securities registered with the SEC. Countries and provinces that issue US dollar bonds under Schedule B registration statements file it.

Exhibits to 18-K and 18-K/A filings usually contain the government's economic description: budget, debt, balance of payments and political information, which makes them a source of sovereign credit data.

Who files

Foreign sovereign governments and political subdivisions with registered securities, for example Canadian provinces and Latin American sovereigns.

When it is filed

Annually, with amendments (18-K/A) used to add updated economic exhibits during the year.
