Public debt ratio in Luxembourg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The national debt ratio of Luxembourg indicates the relationship between Luxembourg national debt on the one hand and Luxembourg nominal gross domestic product on the other.

Development in recent years

Luxembourg's national debt ratio rose between 2008 and 2013 due to the financial crisis . While the national debt of 5.4 billion euros at the end of 2008 corresponded to a national debt ratio of 14.4%, the national debt ratio at the end of 2013, given a debt level of then 10.5 billion euros, reached a value of 23.1%.

Forecast development

The International Monetary Fund assumes that Luxembourg's national debt ratio will rise to 35.2% by the end of 2019, with a debt level of EUR 20.3 billion. This would mean that Luxembourg would continue to meet the Maastricht criterion of no more than 60%.
