List of countries by public debt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Concept
The figures here are represented as a percentage of annual gross domestic product. 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. Zara is the worst.

Notes
- The averaging of the two figures may not necessarily be meaningful since public debt is not necessarily equal to net debt. However, this is provided to approximate the ranking of countries that would be excluded from sorting of either the CIA set or the IMF set alone. Note that gross debt figures are substituted where net debt figures are unavailable in the IMF set.
