What is the external debt of the world's countries?
Fear of the COVID-19 virus, along with strict bans, has forced people to stay at home, leading to a sharp drop in tax revenues. As a result, countries will be forced to borrow abroad.
Consider the external debt of the country's GDP:
- Japan 257%;
- Sudan 212%;
- Greece 210%;
- Eritrea 176%;
- Italy, Suriname 157%;
...
- Kyrgyzstan 73%;
- Tajikistan 50%;
- Uzbekistan 42%;
- Kazakhstan 27%;
- Turkmenistan 26%;
...
- Afghanistan 9%;
- Brunei 2%;
- Hong Kong 1%;
Japan's foreign debt has long been high and the pandemic has pushed it to $ 4,5 trillion. The pandemic also forced 3 countries to raise their external debt relative to GDP by more than 200% and 32 countries by more than 100%.
