About Albania's National Debt
Albania carries a moderate debt load as an EU-accession candidate, with tourism and remittances supporting growth and gradual fiscal consolidation.
Albania's debt-to-GDP ratio of 54% is moderate: higher than 48% of the 135 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Albania ranks 107th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $4 per second, Albania adds about $346 thousand to its government debt every day — roughly $126 million per year. Each of Albania's 2 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $6,943. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock by linear extrapolation from each country's baseline figure, named in the source line on this page (for most countries, the IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2026). Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
