Live side-by-side comparison of government debt. Germany currently owes about 29.1× more — a gap of $3.49 trillion. Updated every second from IMF baselines.
By total government debt, Czech Republic ranks 47th-largest and Germany ranks 6th-largest among the 137 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 national debt in Germany is roughly 3.8× that in Czech Republic ($42,787 vs $11,370 per person).
The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 65% of GDP, well above Czech Republic's 44%, 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 ($7K/sec vs $380/sec for Czech Republic), adding roughly $528,768,000 to the difference each day.
Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (84M) is about 7.7× Czech Republic's (11M), 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.
Czech Republic and Germany are both grouped under this site's “Europe” region, so this is, in effect, an intra-regional comparison as well.
