Net debt and interest: IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2026, general government, 2025, mostly IMF estimates. A dash means no comparable figure. How these are calculated.

In nominal terms, Germany carries the larger government debt — roughly 694.7× that of Fiji, a difference of $3.48 trillion. Debt-to-GDP (Germany: 63%, Fiji: 76%) says more about the burden than the raw total does.

Among the 194 governments tracked here, Germany ranks 71st by debt-to-GDP and Fiji 49th. Measured per person, Germany is 18th and Fiji 91st.

Analysis

By total government debt, Germany ranks 7th and Fiji 149th 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 7.8× that in Fiji ($41,847 vs $5,372 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Fiji sits at 76% of GDP, above Germany's 63%, meaning Fiji owes far more relative to the size of its own economy — even where the nominal, dollar-for-dollar comparison above suggests otherwise.

Net of financial assets: the IMF puts Germany at 47% of GDP and Fiji at 71%, against 63% and 76% gross. Germany spends about 1.8% of government revenue on net interest ($43.9 billion in 2025), and Fiji about 13% ($233 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 $11/sec for Fiji), adding roughly $894,758,400 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 89.2× Fiji's (1M), 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.
