Analysis

By total government debt, Dominica ranks 178th and India 8th 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 Dominica is roughly 4.6× that in India ($10,479 vs $2,277 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Dominica sits at 103% of GDP, above India's 84%, 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 publishes no net debt figure for either. Dominica spends about 4.0% of government revenue on net interest ($17 million in 2025), and India about 25% ($200.5 billion in 2025). India 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: India's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($3K/sec vs $1/sec for Dominica), adding roughly $217,468,800 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.48B) is about 19532.3× 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.
