Original Note:
Graph and post are misleading. Government debt expressed in nominal currency will have a similar trajectory for many countries due to GDP growth and inflation: https://unctad.org/publication/world-of-debt/regional-stories#section5 For figures to be comparable across countries and time, government debt is usually expressed as % of GDP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_debt
