About Colombia's National Debt
Colombia's debt rose after the pandemic and an oil-price slump; in June 2025 the government suspended its fiscal rule for three years, and high interest costs and social-spending demands keep pressure on the budget.
Colombia's debt-to-GDP ratio of 60% is elevated: higher than 56% 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, Colombia ranks 32nd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $2K per second, Colombia adds about $183 million to its government debt every day — roughly $66.7 billion per year. Each of Colombia's 53 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $6,153. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
