About Bolivia's National Debt
Bolivia's debt has risen as once-abundant natural-gas output and foreign reserves dwindle, straining its long-standing currency peg and squeezing public finances.
Bolivia's debt-to-GDP ratio of 85% is elevated above the IMF's informal 60% benchmark, though still manageable for a government with deep capital markets and institutional credibility. By total government debt, Bolivia ranks 67th of the 137 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $902 per second, Bolivia adds about $0.1 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $28 billion per year. Each of Bolivia's 12 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $6,141. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
