What is the Japan government debt to gdp

Japan's government debt to GDP ratio is one of the highest in the world, currently standing at over 200%. This means that the country's total government debt is more than twice the size of its annual gross domestic product. The high level of debt is a result of years of deficit spending to stimulate economic growth and finance social welfare programs. While Japan has been able to maintain low interest rates due to its strong economy and high levels of domestic savings, there are concerns about the sustainability of the debt burden in the long term. The government has implemented measures to reduce the deficit and control spending, but the aging population and slow economic growth present ongoing challenges for managing the debt.
