About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually (with quarterly advance estimates in some economies), subject to revision with the national accounts.
What it is
Government gross debt measures the total outstanding liabilities of Peru's general government to its creditors. It is usually expressed as a share of GDP to gauge sustainability.
How it's calculated
It is compiled by adding the gross liabilities of general government (debt securities, loans and other liabilities). The reference figure comes from the IMF World Economic Outlook, is annual and is expressed as a percentage of GDP and in absolute sol terms.
Market implications
Peru stands out for low public debt and a fiscal discipline that have earned it one of the best ratings in the region. Any deterioration is watched by markets and rating agencies, affecting the risk premium, the sol and the central bank's policy.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure revised with the national accounts. The ratio depends on nominal GDP, so it can move without any change in borrowing, and it reflects neither the maturity profile nor the foreign-currency share.
