Latvia · Net Interest · USD bn (PPP)

## What this measures

Latvia's general-government net interest bill, converted from national currency to US dollars at the OECD's purchasing-power-parity rate, in billions.

## Why it matters

PPP conversion compares what the interest bill could otherwise buy at home, rather than what it is worth on the currency market that year.

## How to read it

Use it for scale across countries; use net interest as a % of spending or GDP for burden.

## What it does not say

PPP dollars are not market dollars. The United States is the anchor (PPP = 1).
