Does anyone know if there is anywhere we can find a graph of interest (rather than debt) vs GDP? It seems more useful to compare one annualized number with another. With interest rates historically low, this might be less of a burden on the economy than previous lower debts at higher interest rates, or it might be much worse - but I can't tell from a graph like this.

I don't know if this is the right statistic, though: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GC.XPN.INTP.RV.ZS https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GC.XPN.INTP.RV.ZS
