About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually (with quarterly advance estimates in some economies), subject to revision with the national accounts.
What it is
Georgia's government debt is the total of the domestic and external liabilities owed by general government to its creditors. It is reported in absolute terms and, above all, as a percentage of GDP to gauge sustainability.
How it's calculated
Compiled by adding domestic and external debt (mostly multilateral loans), from Georgia's Ministry of Finance figures. Comparable series are usually taken from the IMF. The debt-to-GDP ratio relates the stock to nominal GDP.
Market implications
A high or rising debt level bears on the sustainability of the public finances and, given the large foreign-currency share, on exposure to the lari exchange rate. It is watched by the IMF and rating agencies.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure revised with the national accounts. The ratio also depends on nominal GDP, so it can move without any change in borrowing; foreign-currency debt amplifies the effect of swings in the lari.
