Motivation edit
This is useful for ranking comparing the endebtedness of countries. It can also be measured for households but this property is for government debt to GDP ratio. It's usually stated in percent.--So9q (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Discussion edit
Comment Is it more common for this ratio to be provided for a country or for the two components of this ratio to be provided? (Also these should be going on their respective "economy of" items.) Mahir256 (talk) 00:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I had not thought about that, if we have the data then we can of course calculate it ourselves. I'll investigate if we have both debt and GDP for Sweden e.g. and test calculating with spaql.--So9q (talk) 07:22, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- We already have the GDP data for many items but none have both debt and GDP, see Query--So9q (talk) 07:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
