How this figure is calculated
Domestic Claims, Claims on Central or General Government, Net Claims on Central or General Government (Depository Corporations Survey, Domestic currency) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Domestic Claims, Claims on Central or General Government, Net Claims on Central or General Government (Depository Corporations Survey, Domestic currency) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Domestic Claims, Claims on Central or General Government, Net Claims International Monetary Fund
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
