Introduction
The debt to GDP ratio is a measure that compares a country’s total debt to its gross domestic product (GDP). It provides an indication of a nation’s ability to repay its debts relative to the size of its economy. The debt to GDP ratio can serve as a metric for evaluating a country’s fiscal health and its level of debt sustainability.
Japan has the highest debt to GDP ratio, standing at 262%. This is followed by Venezuela at 241% and Greece at 193%. These countries have been grappling with significant debt burdens for some time, with various economic and political factors contributing to their high ratios. On the other end of the spectrum, Brunei has the lowest debt to GDP ratio at 1.90%, followed by the Cayman Islands at 4.50%, Kuwait at 7.10%, and Afghanistan at 7.40%.
There are regional trends when it comes to debt to GDP ratios. Countries in Asia, particularly Japan, have some of the highest ratios, while countries in the Middle East, such as Brunei and Kuwait, tend to have lower ratios. High debt to GDP ratios in some countries can challenge their economic stability and growth prospects, as it may limit their ability to invest in infrastructure, social programs, and other development initiatives.
