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 83% is elevated: higher than 75% 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, Bolivia ranks 74th of the 135 governments tracked here.
Bolivia's debt is rising in BOB, but the figure above is falling by roughly $13 per second because the BOB is weakening against the dollar faster than the debt is growing. Switch the counter to BOB to see the underlying trend. This is an exchange-rate effect, not repayment. Each of Bolivia's 13 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $4,237. 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.
