A low debt ratio and strong institutions support resilience. Gross public debt alone does not capture household and external exposures.

What the pension figure means.
The table reports 21% of GDP in 2023 in accrued unfunded social insurance pension entitlements.
This values promises earned to date. It does not subtract future contributions or measure the tax increase needed for solvency.
For a common-year comparison, the 2021 figure is 24% of GDP.
Eurostat records accrued-to-date social insurance entitlements. Future contributions are not deducted. Coverage, discount rates, and benefit rules affect the value.

Protest and riot risk.
Public demonstrations remain possible. The fiscal position gives policymakers more room to absorb economic shocks.
The horizon is the next 12 months. These are qualitative author assessments, with medium confidence.
World Bank 2025 context: political stability 79.5/100; voice and accountability 90.5/100. These indicators do not predict protests.
Potential triggers above are scenarios, except where an official source explicitly reports an event. Peaceful protest is not violence.
