Analysis

By total government debt, Germany ranks 7th and Saint Kitts and Nevis 179th 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 2.9× that in Saint Kitts and Nevis ($41,847 vs $14,337 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 63% of GDP, above Saint Kitts and Nevis' 59%, meaning Germany 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 order flips: the IMF puts Germany at 47% of GDP and Saint Kitts and Nevis at 52%, against 63% and 59% gross. Germany spends about 1.8% of government revenue on net interest ($43.9 billion in 2025), and Saint Kitts and Nevis about 4.2% ($14 million in 2025). Saint Kitts and Nevis 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 $4/sec for Saint Kitts and Nevis), adding roughly $895,363,200 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 1613.9× Saint Kitts and Nevis' (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.
