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 Slovakia's general government to its creditors. It is usually expressed as a share of GDP under the EU fiscal framework to gauge sustainability.

How it's calculated

It is compiled under harmonised EU rules (Excessive Deficit Procedure debt), consolidating the liabilities of all levels of general government: debt securities, loans and deposits. The figure is published by Eurostat on a quarterly and annual basis.

Market implications

As a euro-area member, Slovakia is subject to the EU fiscal framework's debt limits and to its own constitutional debt brake. An upward path affects its risk premium and is watched by Brussels, markets and rating agencies.

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 contingent liabilities.
