In plain words
85.8% of GDP
What it is. Central government debt, total, as a share of GDP.
Lower is better. A fall in public debt is generally good news; a rise, bad news.
Why it matters. A percentage puts countries of different sizes on the same footing, so it can be compared across borders and over time.
