Answer 1

rises whenever the debt rises

Step-by-step explanation:

The Debt to GDP ratio is a financial metric that compares the debt of a country to its GDP It measures the ability of a country to repay its debt using its GDP

Debt is the total money a country owes to its lenders

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Debt to GDP ratio = total debt of country / total GDP of a country

If total debt = $50 million and total GDP = 100 million

Debt GDP ratio = $50 million / $100 million = 0.5

the higher Debt is, the higher the ratio. The lower debt is, the lower the ratio
