Hi, I am translating this as "amount outstanding": is there a more precise term. The context is financial statements and the notes to these. Thank you

amount of finance outstanding
Explanation:
Commentators should really post their choice comments as answers and not as questions and explain why this cannot be 'negative equity'.

financial exposure would change the meaning to the level of risk of an investment.

Asker: thank you for this reply. I found it helpful but the client decided they wanted "outstanding" as a noun as an answer. I am not sure that is correct in the absolute but in their accounts that is what they wanted. Thaks for all the help and discussion

Asker: Thanks you for your help: I selected one answer although yours was equally helpful really to me and both were different from what the client wanted in the end. Typical! Thanks again.
