How this figure is calculated
Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) (TDS, current US$) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) (TDS, current US$) ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) International Debt Statistics, World Bank (WB)
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
