Countries with a #debtToGDPratio over 100% become #fragile because their debt exceeds their entire economic output, making it harder to service that debt without cutting essential services or raising #taxes.

#High debt can lead to higher borrowing costs, reduced investor confidence, and limited ability to respond to economic crises.

This fragility can trigger #recessions or even defaults.

Top 5 Countries by Debt-to-GDP Ratio:

1. Japan: 260%

2. Greece: 206%

3. Italy: 155%

4. Portugal: 134%

5. United States: 128%
