Taking a look at the Greece’s Debt Clock that been running non-stop since 2010, the chart shows as of Feb 20th:
National Debt of Greece: 348,955,094,539 €
Interest per Year: 19,314,105,264€
Interest per Second: 612€
Debt per Citizen: 32,273€
Debt as % of GDP: 180.64%
GDP: 193,179,341,458€
Population: 10,812,508
But this is just a clock, right?
PS 326.358billion euro? I wouldn’t worry so much that the debt increased by 5 billion euros over the past year. Our Euro-partners believe that the Greek debt is sustainable and the few billion difference could be dealt with cutting pensioners’ bread and poor people’s cheese. That’s what they are looking for at today’s Eurogroup, aren’t they?
