Source and live estimate
Eurostat provides the official quarterly government-debt observations. EU Debt Map extends the latest measured change into a live display so the official and modelled figures remain visibly distinct.
The live debt is an estimate, not a new official observation and not a forecast.- Official source

How the live estimate is calculated
- AnchorStart with the official debt stock for 2026 Q1.
- MeasureMeasure the change from 2025 Q4 to 2026 Q1 and convert it to a constant pace per second.
- ExtendApply that pace after 2026-03-31. The source code is Eurostat gov_10q_ggdebt, frequency Q, sector S13, item GD, unit MIO_EUR.
This deliberately simple model does not react to events after the official anchor and must never be read as an official real-time observation.
