I always put public debt in relation to the GDP to make it comparable to other states. I guess, 99.9% of economists would be d'accord. But of course I know that the GDP measure like inflation is manipulated.

You do not write to a room of economists, therefore to write in jargon misses your audience, both in intent and in perception.

Ok. Tell me, where I should elaborate on somewhat deeper? I would like to make my point on public debt clear because it will be important later on in the credit cycle.

In colloquial english the phrase "public debt" refers to the amount of nominal debt owed by a government, and NOT the ratio of nominal debt to whatever GDP is.

Correct. And now You put this number in relation to the nominal GDP and repeat this with a number of other countries and over a defined time period to get a reverence point like an anchor. Therefore it's possible that public debt (nominal) rises meanwhile because of econ growth the ratio of pd/gdp falls.
