Not sure if this even exists but..

So I have been searching everything I can think of (don't have access to BB at the moment though) and I cannot find data on consumer debt per household by country. I know that places like Somalia and shitholes of that ilk won't have data since, you know, they don't have much in the way of consumer debt outside of loan sharks and the like, but I would really like to find any similar data that might exist. If anyone can oblige, I would appreciate it.

On the left go to Finance > Housholds' financial and non-financial assets and liabilities You can view by country. Look at the liability side for the breakdowns (credit cards, auto loans, home loans, etc).

Not sure if this helps since those are aggregate numbers by country and not per houshold...

Yea, I found something similar, thanks. Its just a little more cumbersome than a per household statistic would be but I might have to use it either way.

cant you extrapolate a per household statistic with aggregate data?

annoying, but it should really only be an extra step...right?

Yea, of course I could but thats ~173 nations worth of dividing by large numbers and/or inputing that shit into excel. Was hoping I wouldn't have to do that but I might. I also don't really trust data on the number of households in some of the more rural households and stuff like that.

You think the household debt numbers will be more trustworthy than # of households? Just gotta accept that the numbers will never be perfect.

So my thought process was this. The Debt number is right or wrong within X and the number of households would be right or wrong within X so by putting the numbers together it would exacerbate that. IF I were able to find these stats somewhere then, presumably, the organization that did it would have taken their data from more than the 2 sources I have. Does that make sense at all? Sorry, I'm mad tired.
