Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you have seen international time-series data on the total debt (e.g. public+ private).

World’s Bank WDI also report public guaranteed debt as well as private non-guaranteed for developing economies, but strangely enough not for the developed ones.

thanks.

Surely 195% GDP public debt is a massive burden on the Japanese government via interest payments? UK public debt is about 45% GDP whilst we have a relatively low savings rate, how are these facts related? How are domestic savings linked to public debt?
