About Global Debt Monitor

Our Mission

Global Debt Monitor is dedicated to providing transparent, real-time access to global debt statistics. We believe that understanding national debt levels is crucial for informed citizenship and economic awareness.

What We Do

We aggregate and visualize debt data from authoritative sources to create an accessible platform for tracking global economic indicators. Our service includes:

• Real-time Debt Tracking: Live updates showing national debt progression calculated from historical trends
• Multi-Country Coverage: Comprehensive data for 27+ countries and economic regions
• Currency Conversion: View debt in 25+ international currencies with real-time exchange rates
• Data Analytics: Interactive charts showing historical trends, growth rates, and per capita analysis
• Educational Content: AI-generated insights to help contextualize large numbers

Data Sources

All debt data is sourced from the World Bank API, one of the most trusted sources for international economic statistics. We use multiple indicators including:

• Central government debt (GC.DOD.TOTL.CN)
• External debt stocks (DT.DOD.DECT.CD)
• GDP data for economic context (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD)

Methodology

Our real-time debt counter uses a mathematical model based on historical data:

• We analyze the most recent two years of available data
• Calculate the annual growth rate
• Convert to per-second increases
• Apply this rate to project current debt levels

This provides an estimate of current debt levels between official reporting periods.

Transparency

We are committed to transparency in our data presentation:

• All data sources are clearly attributed
• Calculation methods are documented
• Historical data is preserved for comparison
• Updates occur automatically as new data becomes available

Technology

Global Debt Monitor is built using modern web technologies:

• Real-time data processing with Node.js
• Interactive visualizations with Chart.js
• Responsive design for all devices
• Secure payment processing via Stripe
