List of countries by public debt
This article needs to be updated.(July 2021) |
These are lists of countries by public debt, based on data from the Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook and the International Monetary Fund. Net debt figure is the cumulative total of all government borrowings less repayments that are denominated in a country's home currency.[further explanation needed]
Concept[]
Gross government debt is the total amount of debt the government has issued and is the most relevant data for discussions of government default and debt ceilings. It is different from external debt, which includes the foreign currency liabilities of non-government entities. Net debt subtracts financial assets a government holds from the gross debt amount. Net debt would decrease by about one-third of GDP.
The public debt relative information provided by national sources (CIA) is not always objective and true, given the fact that there is no independent research in these matters. Note that net debt figures are included where gross debt figures are unavailable in the CIA set (USA).
Public debt as % of GDP[]
The figures here are represented as a percentage of annual gross domestic product.
