The following table sets out Ireland's Gross General Government Debt as a percentage of GDP, GNP and GNI*.
Modified Gross National Income (GNI*) is a new indicator (introduced in July 2017), recommended by the Economic Statistics Review Group, and is designed to exclude globalisation effects that are disproportionately impacting the measurement of the size of the Irish economy (2017 GNI* not yet available).
