BERLIN, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Germany's public debt climbed to a record high at the end of 2024, with per capita liabilities exceeding 30,000 euros (34,594 U.S. dollars), official data showed on Tuesday.
Figures released by the Federal Statistical Office put total public debt at 2.51 trillion euros, an increase of 2.6 percent from the previous year. The rise reflects mounting fiscal strain across all levels of government as Europe's largest economy struggles with weak growth and slowing revenues.
