-# Malawi - External Debt
-**Publisher:** World Bank Group · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-external-debt-indicators-for-malawi) · **License:** `cc-by` · **Updated:** 2026-03-27

-## Abstract
-Contains data from the World Bank's [data portal](http://data.worldbank.org/). There is also a [consolidated country dataset](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-combined-indicators-for-malawi) on HDX.
-Debt statistics provide a detailed picture of debt stocks and flows of developing countries. Data presented as part of the Quarterly External Debt Statistics takes a closer look at the external debt of high-income countries and emerging markets to enable a more complete understanding of global financial flows. The Quarterly Public Sector Debt database provides further data on public sector valuation methods, debt instruments, and clearly defined tiers of debt for central, state and local government, as well as extra-budgetary agencies and funds. Data are gathered from national statistical organizations and central banks as well as by various major multilateral institutions and World Bank staff.
-Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-03-27. Geographic scope: **MWI**.
-*Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).*

-## Curation
-Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.
----
-## Limitations
-- Data originates from World Bank Group and has not been independently validated by ESA.
-- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
-- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-external-debt-indicators-for-malawi) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.

+## How To Read This Dataset
+- Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
+- Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
+- Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
+- Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.
+## Usage
 ```python
 from datasets import load_dataset
+ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-world-bank-external-debt-indicators-for-malawi")
+print(ds)
+split_name = next(iter(ds))
+table = ds[split_name]
+print(table.features)
+print(table[:3])
 ```
+### Convert To Pandas When Tabular
+```python
+from datasets import Dataset
+first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
+if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
+    df = first_split.to_pandas()
+    print(df.head())
+```
+## Data Quality Notes
+- This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
+- Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
+- Metadata gaps from the inventory: upstream_publisher.
+- Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.
