Analysis

By total government debt, Ivory Coast ranks 72nd and Germany 7th among the 135 sovereigns tracked on this site.

On a per-citizen basis the picture can look different from the nominal totals: a resident's notional share of the government debt in Germany is roughly 22.5× that in Ivory Coast ($41,715 vs $1,850 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 63% of GDP, above Ivory Coast's 57%, meaning Germany owes far more relative to the size of its own economy — even where the nominal, dollar-for-dollar comparison above suggests otherwise.

The gap between them is widening: Germany's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($10K/sec vs $213/sec for Ivory Coast), adding roughly $877,305,600 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 2.5× Ivory Coast's (34M), which is part of why the nominal and per-capita comparisons above can point in different directions — a government's debt load scales loosely with the size of both its economy and its population, not either alone.
