Gross debt of the Government of Quebec

In recent years, government debt has become increasingly important in discussions about public finances. Citizens are concerned about the level of debt and how it is changing. In 2020-21, debt increased significantly due to the drop in revenues, which resulted from the contraction of the economy, and the actions implemented by the government to manage the health crisis and support the economy.
