Analysis

By total government debt, India ranks 8th and West Bank and Gaza 138th 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 1.4× that in West Bank and Gaza ($2,277 vs $1,672 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: India sits at 84% of GDP, well above West Bank and Gaza's 56%, 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. India spends about 25% of government revenue on net interest ($200.5 billion in 2025); there is no usable net interest figure for West Bank and Gaza. See the full interest ranking.

The gap between them is widening: India's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($3K/sec vs $0/sec for West Bank and Gaza), adding roughly $217,555,200 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.48B) is about 257.4× West Bank and Gaza's (6M), 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.
