Structure of government debt in Europe in 2010

In view of the increasing focus given to public finance, EU Member States are asked to provide information on their government debt structure. This information is requested in an annual survey launched by Eurostat, classifying the government debt by holder, instrument, maturity, and currency of issuance, as well as providing data on guarantees granted by the government. This publication reflects the main results of the latest questionnaire, fully or partly completed by 24 Member States.
