Pourquoi c’est important
Large deficits mean more government borrowing, which can push bond yields up and, if markets lose confidence, weigh on the currency. Debt ratios matter for credit ratings and for euro-area rules.
Mode de calcul
The finance ministry or statistics office reports cash revenue and spending each month or quarter; debt is the stock of government borrowing, usually shown as a share of GDP.
Budget balance = revenue − spending
Debt ratio = government debt ÷ GDP × 100Ce que signifient les variations
- Markets react mostly to surprises that change the borrowing plan.
- Rising debt is more worrying when interest rates are above growth rates.
Un bref historique
Public debt has financed wars since the Bank of England was founded in 1694 to lend to the government; the euro area's 3% deficit and 60% debt rules date from the Maastricht Treaty (1992).
