🇸🇩 Sudan vs 🇮🇳 India

Analysis

By total government debt, Sudan ranks 66th-largest and India ranks 8th-largest among the 137 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 national debt in India is roughly 1.5× that in Sudan ($2,367 vs $1,601 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: Sudan sits at 188% of GDP, well above India's 84%, meaning Sudan 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 ($5K/sec vs $34/sec for Sudan), adding roughly $461,289,600 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.44B) is about 30.7× Sudan's (47M), 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.
