There are 3 fields used on this chart (including filters):
  • continent: Continent the country is situated within.
  • central government debt: Debt is the entire stock of direct government fixed-term contractual obligations to others outstanding on a particular date. It includes domestic and foreign liabilities such as currency and money deposits, securities other than shares, and loans. It is the gross amount of government liabilities reduced by the amount of equity and financial derivatives held by the government. Because debt is a stock rather than a flow, it is measured as of a given date, usually the last day of the fiscal year. This field is expressed in % of GDP.
  • press freedom: The level of press freedom enjoyed by journalists and media.
