Measure: One slice of Government debt ( form: share ) . Gross liabilities of the general government sector. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.

Limitations: Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 1,295 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.

Verification: Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
