Understanding Private Debt to GDP — a simple guide

What it measures

Credit to the private non-financial sector — households and non-financial companies — as a percentage of GDP (BIS).

How it is calculated

Loans and debt securities owed by households and non-financial companies ÷ GDP × 100 (BIS).

Simple example

A ratio of 90% means private borrowers owe almost one year of national output.

▲ When it is high or rising

High or fast-rising private debt can increase financial stability risks.

▼ When it is low or falling

Low private debt can mean room for credit growth, or limited access to finance.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Private leverage affects financial stability; rapid credit booms have historically preceded banking stress.

How to read it

The BIS “credit-to-GDP gap” approach looks at how far the ratio is above its long-run trend rather than the level alone.

Data source
