Debt service ratio
Interest plus repayments of the private non-financial sector as a share of its income, published quarterly by the BIS.
The debt service ratio measures how much of income goes to servicing debt at current interest rates and a standard maturity. Because it combines the stock of debt with the level of rates, it responds to both leverage and tightening. Drehmann and Juselius at the BIS found the DSR well above its long-run average in the one to two years before banking crises. The threshold here, one point above the ten-year mean, is a worldstat.us construction and far tighter than the deviations they report.
