Government debt (also known as public debt or national debt) is money owed by any level of government; either central government, federal government, municipal government or local government.
As the government represents the people, government debt can be seen as an indirect debt of the tax payers.
Government debt can be categorized as internal debt, owed to lenders within the country, and external debt, owed to foreign lenders. Governments usually borrow by issuing securities such as government bonds and bills. Less credit worthy countries sometimes borrow directly from commercial banks or supranational institutions. Some people consider all government liabilities, including future pension payments and payments for goods and services the government has contracted for but not yet paid, as government debt.
