Analysis

By total government debt, Cambodia ranks 117th and India 8th 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 India is roughly 3.0× that in Cambodia ($2,274 vs $746 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: India sits at 84% of GDP, well above Cambodia's 26%, 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 gap between them is widening: India's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($3K/sec vs $21/sec for Cambodia), adding roughly $215,740,800 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.48B) is about 81.8× Cambodia's (18M), 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.

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