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.

Among the 194 governments tracked here, Germany ranks 71st by debt-to-GDP and Kyrgyzstan 137th. Measured per person, Germany is 18th and Kyrgyzstan 145th.

Analysis

By total government debt, Germany ranks 7th and Kyrgyzstan 140th 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 34.0× that in Kyrgyzstan ($41,847 vs $1,229 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 63% of GDP, well above Kyrgyzstan's 39%, 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 IMF puts Germany at 47% of GDP net of financial assets, and publishes no net debt figure for Kyrgyzstan. Germany spends about 1.8% of government revenue on net interest ($43.9 billion in 2025), and Kyrgyzstan about 2.9% ($250 million in 2025). Kyrgyzstan carries the lower debt ratio but the heavier interest bill: rates, currency and assets matter as well as the size of the debt. See the full interest ranking.

The gap between them is widening: Germany's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($10K/sec vs $5/sec for Kyrgyzstan), adding roughly $895,276,800 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 11.3× Kyrgyzstan's (7M), 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.
