Live side-by-side comparison of government debt. India currently owes about 81466.2× as much as Micronesia — a gap of $3.36 trillion. Updated every second from each country's baseline figure; sources below.

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, Micronesia ranks 187th by debt-to-GDP and India 39th. Measured per person, Micronesia is 180th and India 122nd.

Analysis

By total government debt, Micronesia ranks 191st 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 India is roughly 6.3× that in Micronesia ($2,277 vs $363 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: India sits at 84% of GDP, well above Micronesia's 9%, meaning India 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. Micronesia spends about 0.3% of government revenue on net interest ($934 thousand in 2025), and India about 25% ($200.5 billion in 2025). See the full interest ranking.

The gap between them is widening: India's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($3K/sec vs −$0.12/sec for Micronesia), adding roughly $217,565,568 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.48B) is about 12989.0× Micronesia'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.

Micronesia and India are both grouped under this site's “Asia-Pacific” region, so this is, in effect, an intra-regional comparison as well.
