Public Debt (IMF)

Public debt database maps 120 years of saving, spending, by IMF. The IMF staff has built a comprehensive and dynamic new database on public debt. The data shows how government debt has risen and fallen over the years as important events, such as wars and stock market crashes, affect a country’s decisions about when to save and when to spend.
