ANA/MPA---Greece's public debt totaled 317.1 billion euros, or 177.1
pct of GDP, at the end of 2014, Hellenic Statistical Authority said
on Wednesday.
The statistics service, in a report, also said that the general
government's deficit was 6.4 billion euros, or 3.5 pct of GDP (the figure
is not related with a fiscal surplus/deficit of the memorandum). The
country's Gross Domestic Product totaled 179.081 billion euros last
year, down from 182.438 billion in 2013 and 207.752 billion at the end
of 2010. The country's public debt (excluding the year 2012 with the
introduction of a PSI program) continues rising as a percentage of GDP,
although falling in nominal value. The public debt was 355.977 billion
euros (171.3 pct of GDP) in 2010, 304.714 billion euros (156.9 pct of GDP)
in 2011, 319.178 billion (175 pct of GDP) in 2013 and 317.094 billion
euros (177.1 pct of GDP) in 2014.
The statistics service said that if spending on state support to financial
institutions and their impact on the general government balance was taken
into account, the result was a primary surplus of 0.4 pct of GDP in 2014.
