Palmer's history of the modern world (10th edition) recommonds the following two books which should include information on the various economic aspects of WWI:
G. Hardach: The First World War (1977)
D. Stevenson: The First World War and International Politics (1988)

I have a copy of First World War Atlas by Martin Gilbert (SBN 297 17847 4).
There are a couple of fascinating maps near the end.
European Debts to Britain
- Russia - £757 million
- France - £626 million
- Italy - £590 million
- Yugoslavia - £30 million
- Rumania (sic) - £26 million
- Portugal - £23 million
- Greece - £21 million
- Austria* - £11 million
- Belgium* - £9 million - a note reminds us that an additional £110 million of Belgium's debt was to be paid by Germany
- Poland* - £5 million
* - 1919 - 25 - British loans for reconstruction
European Debts to the United States
- Britain - $4,277 million
- France - $2,997 million
- Italy - $1,640 million
- Belgium - $349 million
- Russia - $187 million
- Poland* - $160 million
- Czechoslovakia - $62 million
- Rumania (sic) - $25 million
- Yugoslavia* - $25 million
- Austria* - $24 million
- Greece - $15 million
- Estonia* - $14 million
- Armenia* - $12 million
- Finland* - $8 million
- Latvia* - $5 million
- Lithuania* - $5 million
- Hungary* - $1 million
* - 1919 - 25 - US loans for reconstruction
Footnote:
War debts were payable to the U.S. over 62 years at an interest rate of just over 2%. Armenia never came into existence as an independent state, and thus none of its debt was paid. Finland alone of 19 nations had paid her debt in full by 1969. In 1925 the United States cancelled 80% of the Italian debt. In 1926 60% of the French debt was cancelled. The Bolshevik Government of Russia rejected the demand that it honour Tsarist debt.
