Overheidsschuld:
note: data cover only what the United States Treasury denotes as "Debt Held by the Public," which includes all debt instruments issued by the Treasury that are owned by non-US Government entities; the data include Treasury debt held by foreign entities; the data exclude debt issued by individual US states, as well as intragovernmental debt; intragovernmental debt consists of Treasury borrowings from surpluses in the trusts for Federal Social Security, Federal Employees, Hospital and Supplemental Medical Insurance (Medicare), Disability and Unemployment, and several other smaller trusts; if data for intragovernment debt were added, "gross debt" would increase by about one-third of GDP
Definitie: Deze boeking registreert het cumulatieve totaal van alle overheidsschulden minus terugbetalingen die worden uitgedrukt in de eigen valuta van een land. De overheidsschuld moet niet worden verward met de buitenlandse schuld, die de verplichtingen in vreemde valuta van zowel de private als de publieke sector weerspiegelt en moet worden gefinancierd uit de inkomsten van buitenlandse valuta.
