Annex Table 62 - Maastricht definition of general government gross public debt

Definition: For countries in the European Union, gross debt is specified according to the criteria set out in a protocol to the Maastricht Treaty (see EC Council Regulation No. 3605/93 of 22 November 1993).

Debt is consolidated within the general government and valued at nominal (face) value. For differences between gross debt according to the Maastricht criterion and the SNA based general government gross financial liabilities concept of the OECD (Annex Table 32) see the Frequently Asked Questions. Historical debt figures (as opposed to debt projections), in national currencies, are provided by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, while GDP figures are provided by national authorities. Over the forecast period, debt ratios are in line with the OECD’s projections for general government gross financial liabilities and GDP.
