Central debt / GDP. US 39→116%; PL and DE are almost empty in this copy.

percent

The file

Central government debt as % of GDP. Gappy: this copy has Poland 1994, Germany 1990, the US 1989–2024.

The indicator

GC.DOD.TOTL.GD.ZS omits local government and guarantees. Missing years stay missing. Read with GDP growth and GDP per capita.

What the numbers show

US: 39% → 116% of GDP. Poland and Germany cannot carry a decade story in this file. If cron fills the holes, the takeaway can return.
