Since the government relies heavily on market borrowing to meet its operational and developmental expenditure, the study of public debt becomes key to understand the financial health of the government and its ability to raise funds to improve the economy by increasing Government expenditure in current and post covid scenario.
Let's understand the public debt Facts in Indian Context:
The debt to GDP ratio is the metric comparing a country's public debt to its gross domestic product (GDP) and is a widely accepted parameter to understand and compare the health of the economy.
Debt to GDP= Total debt of the country/Total GDP of the country
The general principle is higher a country's debt to GDP ratio means higher is the risk of default. Delay in making payments by a country triggers the panic button of domestic and international financial markets.

Who funds this Public Debt: In India, most of the public debt is funded by Commercial banks, insurance companies and RBI.
