Although external debt stocks fell in 2015, most high-income economies recorded increases in the external debt-to-GDP ratio. For all high-income economies reporting to QEDS combined, it rose to 150 percent in 2015, from 147 percent in 2014. For G-7 countries the story was mixed. In the United States, the debt-to-GDP ratio remained constant, 99 percent, despite the rise in level of external debt stocks over the past three years. The United Kingdom saw an improvement in 2015, although the debt-to-GDP ratio remains elevated at 290 percent. Other G-7 countries saw the ratio deteriorate in 2015. In Canada it rose to 100 percent, from 86 percent in 2014, and in Japan it jumped to 71 percent (59 percent in 2014). France, Germany, and Italy also saw a deterioration in the debt-to-GDP ratio in 2015.
