Analysis

By total government debt, Germany ranks 7th and Dominica 178th among the 194 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 4.0× that in Dominica ($41,847 vs $10,479 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Dominica sits at 103% of GDP, well above Germany's 63%, meaning Dominica owes far more relative to the size of its own economy — even where the nominal, dollar-for-dollar comparison above suggests otherwise.

The IMF puts Germany at 47% of GDP net of financial assets, and publishes no net debt figure for Dominica. Germany spends about 1.8% of government revenue on net interest ($43.9 billion in 2025), and Dominica about 4.0% ($17 million in 2025). See the full interest ranking.

The gap between them is widening: Germany's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($10K/sec vs $1/sec for Dominica), adding roughly $895,622,400 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 1101.6× Dominica's (0M), 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.
