For Greece, with an overall deficit of 4.1 of GDP and a debt GDP ratio of 170 , the debt ratio would fall if the combination of inflation and real (inflation adjusted) GDP growth exceeded 2.4 .

The eurozone as a whole has a debt to GDP ratio of 90 , which is high by any standard.

While the increase in investment reduced the saving GDP ratio, the resulting increase in imports lowered the trade surplus GDP ratio.

The annual budget deficit is nearly 10 of GDP, higher than any of the eurozone countries. With nominal GDP stagnating, that deficit is causing the debt GDP ratio to rise by 10 annually.

The debt GDP ratio varies a lot by country.

Indeed, Japan s debt to GDP ratio is around 170 much higher than in Greece, where the figure stands at around 110 .

It is likely to rise to more than 60 of GDP by the end of 2010, with the debt to GDP ratio continuing to increase.

Politicians have exacerbated the situation by doubling down on fiscal austerity, which has undermined GDP growth while failing to shrink government debt GDP ratios.

Add the open public debt of 67 of GDP to this total, and the result is an overall German debt GDP ratio of about 340 .

The privatisation of profit and socialisation of loss.

NEW YORK The Greek financial saga is the tip of an iceberg of problems of public debt sustainability for many advanced economies, and not only the so called PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain).

In fact, there is a gradual and smooth decline in growth rates as debt GDP ratios increase 80 looks only trivially better than 100 .

He would also lower personal tax rates by 20 , and make up lost revenue by limiting tax deductions and credits, particularly at the upper end, thereby raising about 18.5 of GDP, just above the historical average, at full employment.

As each year passes, China s markets expand worldwide, and its domestic market comes to represent a greater percentage of its own GDP.

If the government s contingent liabilities are included, China s debt GDP ratio may be closer to 50 .

Stabilizing the debt to GDP ratio is thus the line in the sand that must not be crossed.

At a minimum, that would mean reducing the deficit to a level that stops the rise in the debt to GDP ratio.

By contrast, Spain s external deficit is still above 4 of GDP, while Portugal and Greece recently recorded astronomical figures of around 10 .

Profitability index (PI), also known as profit investment ratio (PIR) and value investment ratio (VIR), is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed project.
