Definition: Debt cancellation
Category: National accounts
Debt cancellation is a bilateral agreement between a creditor and a debtor to cancel or to forgive part or all of a liability outstanding, the debt, incurred by the debtor to the creditor. The debt, which is cancelled, was originally on the liability side of the debtor and on the asset side of the creditor: it no longer exists after the cancellation.
