As it is essential for a country to monitor its public sector debt, as part of the objective to ensure order and discipline in public finances, the use of information technology helps to attain a better management of the public sector debt.

The Public Debt Monitoring System allows Government and public enterprises to send information on terms of loan, outstanding debt, and overdraft facilities online to the Ministry of Finance in a structured electronic format, which is then uploaded into the Commonwealth Secretariat Debt Recording and Management System (CS-DRMS 2000+).

Thus Government can manage its public debt more effectively as part of sound financial management, and to abide with national and international financial norms and commitments.
