Djibouti Net Debt and Interest
The IMF puts Djibouti's net debt at 31% of GDP, against 31% gross. Net debt subtracts the financial assets a government holds against what it owes. The IMF's figures put Djibouti's net interest bill at about 0.3% of GDP in 2025, about $11 million, or 1.3% of government revenue. That is 155th of the 177 governments ranked by interest as a share of revenue.

About Djibouti's National Debt
Djibouti's debt-to-GDP ratio of 31% is low by international standards: higher than 20% of the 194 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Djibouti ranks 172nd of the 194 governments tracked here.
Djibouti's government debt is currently falling, by roughly $0.25 per second — about $22 thousand per day — in US-dollar terms. That can reflect repayment or a weakening currency; the projection behind it does not say which. Each of Djibouti's 1 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $1,310. That is below the world average of roughly $14,700 in government debt per person.
