GDP/Capita US$/person

Economic output per person, providing context for how much capacity a country has to manage its debt.

Debt/GDP %

Total public debt as a percentage of economic output - the primary measure of whether a country's debt is sustainable.

Interest/GDP %

Interest payments on debt as a share of GDP, showing how much of the economy goes to servicing debt rather than funding public services.

GDP Growth %

How fast the economy is growing or shrinking. Positive growth means the country is producing more; negative growth signals a recession.

Debt Stock US$

The absolute size of public debt in US dollars.

Debt/Capita US$/person

Public debt divided by population - how much debt each person effectively carries.

Budget Balance %

Whether the government is spending more than it earns. A negative number means a deficit — the country is borrowing to cover the gap.

Inflation %

The annual rate of increase in consumer prices. High inflation erodes purchasing power and can make debt cheaper to repay in real terms, but hurts citizens' ability to afford basic goods.

Unemployment %

The percentage of the labor force that is actively seeking work but cannot find it. High unemployment signals economic distress and reduces the tax base available to service debt.

SDG Rank Index

A country's position in the global Sustainable Development Goals Index, ranking 166 nations on progress toward the 17 SDGs. A lower number means stronger overall development performance.
