Basic economic data is hard to capture and harder to put in context. This update included data from google search and Trading Economics with 2021 to 2023 identified as “last”. I calculate the US Debt to GDP at 130%. I recognize the increases in Sudan and Lebanon as probably true.

Comments
OECD
is the best website for Export and Import data, but has not been updated since
2022.
Wikipedia and Trading Economics attempt to update annual
data, but it’s best to wait until year end to get 2024 data. The use of “Real
GDP” is unhelpful and I prefer “Nominal GDP”.
The World Bank data is usually accurate, but they don’t post lists of
countries. The only post that lists government debt by country is Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_debt
This data is necessary to track countries as they ride the economic rollercoaster through wars and gross economic blunders.
