About Algeria's National Debt
Algeria carries moderate, mostly domestic debt and finances itself almost entirely from oil and gas, leaving the budget heavily exposed to energy prices and drawing on reserves in lean years.
Algeria's debt-to-GDP ratio of 52% is moderate: higher than 41% of the 135 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, Algeria ranks 49th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $754 per second, Algeria adds about $65 million to its government debt every day — roughly $23.8 billion per year. Each of Algeria's 48 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $3,492. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock by linear extrapolation from each country's baseline figure, named in the source line on this page (for most countries, the IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2026). Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
