How European Government Debt Grew During the Pandemic

  1. Should be compared to a GDP growth over the period since some countries were hit less and/or recovered faster than others.

  2. *Percentage point increase as a percentage of GDP.*

    So Greece went from 180% to 200%. Italy from about 130% to 150%, and Spain from about 95% to 120%. This is largely from the GDP contractions in 2020, which was severe in Southern Europe.
