OECD Central Government Debt, International Comparisons - Data from 1980 onwards

Data are available from 1980 and provide comparable information on marketable and non-marketable central government debt instruments in all OECD member countries. They  are expressed either in million of US dollars or as a percentage of GDP.  The coverage of the data is limited to central government debt issuance and excludes therefore state and local government debt and social security funds.
