JAPAN

Public debt: $10.71-trillion

Per person: $84,435

The most heavily indebted country in the world, Japan’s fiscal situation has been exacerbated by a domestic economy that has been stalled for years. The government has spent heavily on stimulus, but growth has been hindered by the high social costs of dealing with an aging – and shrinking – population. The government’s gross debt is now almost 200 per cent of GDP, compared to just 60 per cent 20 years ago. One small bright light is that most of the country’s debt is held by Japanese individuals, not foreign nations or institutions.

UNITED STATES

Public debt: $9.19-trillion

Per person: $29,730

The amount of debt racked up by the U.S. government is astonishing, but at least it is backed by the world’s largest economy. The enormous stimulus packages that Washington has put in place caused the total debt to balloon to unprecedented levels over the past couple of years. A bigger worry for the United States is that so much of its government debt – about one-quarter – is held outside the country, with more than $1-trillion held by China.

IRELAND

Public debt: $146-billion

Per person: $35,165

Ireland is the latest poster child for the European financial crisis, as its government debt balloons amidst a plunging housing market and a shrinking economy. While the country is resisting a bailout, it admits it can’t borrow any more money on world markets because the interest rates it has to pay are so high. If something isn’t done, the contagion could spread to those who have lent the country money, particularly the British banks that hold large amounts of Irish government debt.

CANADA

Public debt: $1.26-trillion

Per person: $37,121

The Economist’s clock puts Canada’s total debt at a considerably higher level than the $1-trillion cited by most domestic economists as our combined federal and provincial debt. Still, the numbers have been growing in the past couple of years, as Ottawa and many provinces shifted out of the black and started running deficits in an attempt to kick-start the economy. The federal Conservatives say they will balance the budget by 2015-2016, and the total debt numbers should start to fall again. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has its own debt clock that tallies just federal government debt, and it is now quickly advancing towards $548-billion.

AUSTRALIA

Public debt: $255-billion

Per person: $11,509

Compared with Canada, which has roughly the same size economy, Australia’s fiscal situation is much rosier, with total public debt less than a quarter of ours. While the Australian federal government expects a deficit of about $40-billion this year, it is projected to fall to $10-billion next year and be back to surplus within two years. It helps that the Australian economy never really fell into recession, and the country is poised to take advantage of growth in China and other Asian countries.
