The quantity that decides the trajectory is the differential between the interest rate and the nominal growth rate: below zero the debt ratio falls by itself even while running a deficit, above zero it rises even with a balanced budget, and reporting a debt ratio without that differential is the most common way public finances get read wrongly.","url":"https://stat.halowerk.com/v1/sovereign-debt","method":"POST","headers":{},"bodySchema":{"type":"object","properties":{"years":{"type":"integer","default":8,"maximum":20,"minimum":2},"countries":{"type":"array","items":{"type":"string","maxLength":2,"minLength":2},"maxItems":12,"minItems":1}}},"responseSchema":null,"example":null,"exampleRequest":null,"tags":["x402"],"displayCostAmount":"0.006","displayCostAsset":"USDC","priceDynamic":false,"priceHint":null,"priceStatus":"priced","priceSource":"probe","requiresHandshake":false,"reviewCount":0,"rating":{"score":"0.00","successRate":"0.00","reviews":0,"stars":null,"state":"unrated"},"availabilityStatus":"unknown","priceObserved":null,"sessionDeposit":null,"pricing":{"kind":"static","summary":"$0.006/call","primary":{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.006","per":"call","confidence":"exact"},"accepted":[{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.006","per":"call","confidence":"exact"}]},"paymentMethods":[{"uid":"pm_i0pmssTrGlMIA-JUO96hf","protocol":"x402","methodType":"crypto","chain":"base","mode":"charge","costAmount":"0.006","costPer":"request","priority":0,"asset":"0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913","unit":"request","depositMicros":null,"planRef":null}],"brandName":null,"brandSlug":null,"brandBaseUrl":null,"brandDocsUrl":null,"whatItDoes":"Combines government debt ratio, budget balance, nominal GDP growth, and long-term bond yield into a composite debt pressure reading, centering analysis on the interest-rate-minus-growth-rate differential.","exampleAgentPrompt":"What's the debt pressure reading for Italy right now — factor in the current bond yield, nominal GDP growth, budget balance, and debt ratio, and tell me whether the debt-to-GDP is on a self-correcting or worsening trajectory.","exampleUseCases":[{"title":"Sovereign risk screening for bond investors","prompt":"I'm evaluating Italian government bonds — can you compute the debt pressure score for Italy using its current debt ratio, budget balance, nominal GDP growth, and long-term bond yield, and tell me whether the interest-rate-growth differential is working for or against them?"},{"title":"Comparing fiscal sustainability across eurozone peers","prompt":"Run the sovereign debt pressure calculation for France, Spain, and Portugal so I can compare which country has the most favorable interest-rate-minus-growth differential and the least worrying debt trajectory right now."},{"title":"Policy briefing on emerging market debt dynamics","prompt":"I need a debt pressure reading for Brazil — plug in the government debt ratio, the budget balance, nominal GDP growth, and the long-term bond yield, and explain whether the differential means their debt is self-correcting or still climbing even with a balanced budget."}],"resultDescription":"Returns a composite debt pressure reading that combines the government debt ratio, budget balance, nominal GDP growth, and long-term bond yield.
