Notes:
Public debt (Maastricht definition/optics)
Public debt in the Maastricht definition/perspective corresponds to the relevant definition of debt of Public Administrations in the context of European budgetary supervision. It is a concept of consolidated gross debt valued in nominal terms. This concept differs from the total stock of liabilities defined in the SEC, both in terms of the instruments accounted for and in terms of valuation criteria. It is a less comprehensive concept that does not include, among other financial instruments, stocks and other participations, financial derivatives, or other debts/credits, particularly commercial debts. This concept of debt adopts nominal value as the valuation rule, meaning the amount that the public administration (issuer/debtor) is obligated to repay at the end of the contract. The limit established in the annexed protocol to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union is 60% of GDP.
Net Debt excluding Deposits
Net debt excluding deposits corresponds to Gross debt (Maastricht debt) subtracted by deposits in resident banks
