Gross portfolio debt liabilities to GDP (%)

This financial metric represents the proportion of total gross portfolio debt liabilities relative to the nation's GDP, providing insights into the scale of a country's financial obligations in relation to its economic output. It encompasses various types of debt instruments, including bonds, debentures, notes, and short-term money market instruments, reflecting the breadth of the portfolio's leverage. By comparing these debt liabilities to the GDP figures—sourced from the IMF's International Financial Statistics—analysts can gauge the sustainable debt levels within the economic framework. A higher ratio may indicate increased financial risk or reliance on external financing, while a lower ratio may suggest a more stable economic position, underscoring the importance of assessing this indicator for informed economic policymaking.
