Analysis

By total government debt, Germany ranks 7th and Moldova 127th among the 135 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 10.8× that in Moldova ($41,717 vs $3,862 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Germany sits at 63% of GDP, well above Moldova'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 gap between them is widening: Germany's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($10K/sec vs $41/sec for Moldova), adding roughly $892,166,400 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: Germany's population (83M) is about 35.6× Moldova's (2M), 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.

Germany and Moldova are both grouped under this site's “Europe” region, so this is, in effect, an intra-regional comparison as well.
