The data displays the projected public sector net debt (PSND) of Scotland and the UK, in the scenario that Scotland were independent from the United Kingdom, from 2012/13 to 2062/63 as a percentage of national income.
The model used is that of the Institute for Fiscal Studies from their study entitled ' Fiscal Sustainability of an Independent Scotland '. Until 2017/18, the PSND as a percentage of national income for Scotland is projected to be lower than that of the United Kingdom. In 2021/22 though, the percentage for Scotland is predicted to be 2.
