In 2022, the ratio of debt to financial assets by non-financial corporations has grown in France and Germany, but it decreased in Italy, Spain, and the UK. These figures indicate the debt of the companies in that country as a ratio of their financial assets. High debt rates generally increase the vulnerability of the private sector to changes in economic conditions, interest rates and inflation. However, they can be justified for capital-intensive economies.
