SDG Target #17.13

SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”

Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.13:

Enhance global macroeconomic stability, including through policy coordination and policy coherence

Target 17.13 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 17.13.1: Macroeconomic Dashboard

The Macroeconomic Dashboard is a collection of financial indicators.

An example of one of these indicators is inflation of consumer prices. The countries with the highest figures in 2022 were Zimbabwe and Sudan, each with rates higher than 100. Worldwide, consumer price inflation was 8% in 2022, up from 1% in 2015. 

Another measure from the Macroeconomic Dashboard is public sector debt. A lot of countries were missing data for this, but among those with data, the highest was Greece with 207% as of 2021.
