In economics, the debt-to-GDP ratio is the ratio between a country's government debt and its gross domestic product (GDP). A low debt-to-GDP ratio indicates an economy that produces and sells goods and services sufficient to pay back debts without incurring further debt. Geopolitical and economic considerations - including interest rates, war, recessions, and other variables - influence the borrowing practices of a nation and the choice to incur further debt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Budget Deficits and Interest Rates: What is the Link? )〕 == Global trends == In 2013, United States public debt-to-GDP ratio was 71.8%, according to the CIA World Factbook,〔https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2186rank.html〕 or 104.5%, according to the IMF including external debt.〔International Monetary Fund: (All countries Government finance>''General government gross debt''(Percent of GDP) )〕 The level of public debt in Japan 2013 was 243.2% of GDP, in China 22.4% and in India 66.7%, according to the IMF,〔International Monetary Fund: (All countries Government finance>''General government gross debt''(Percent of GDP) )〕 while the public debt-to-GDP ratio in 2013 was at 76.9% of GDP in Germany, 87.2% in the United Kingdom, 92.2% in France and 127.9% in Italy, according to Eurostat.〔(Eurostat - General government gross debt - annual data )〕 Two thirds of US public debt is owned by US citizens, banks, corporations, and the Federal Reserve Bank;〔 〕 approximately one third of US public debt is held by foreign countries - particularly China and Japan. Conversely, less than 5% of Japanese public debt is held by foreign countries. Particularly in macroeconomics, various debt-to-GDP ratios can be calculated. The most commonly used ratio is the Government debt divided by the gross domestic product (GDP), which reflects the government's finances, while another common ratio is the total debt to GDP, which reflects the finances of the nation as a whole. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Debt-to-GDP ratio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
