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 92% exceeds the IMF's 90% threshold associated with potential growth drag. Stabilising it would require sustained primary surpluses — spending less than tax revenue before interest. By total government debt, Bolivia ranks 91st of the 138 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $71 per second, Bolivia adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $2 billion per year. Each of Bolivia's 12 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $1,879. 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.
