About Egypt's National Debt
Egypt's debt is elevated and heavily exposed to foreign currency, leaving it vulnerable to exchange-rate swings and global interest rates. It has repeatedly turned to the IMF and Gulf partners for financing support.
Egypt's debt-to-GDP ratio of 87% is elevated above the IMF's informal 60% benchmark, though still manageable for a government with deep capital markets and institutional credibility. By total government debt, Egypt ranks 30th of the 137 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $2K per second, Egypt adds about $0.2 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $57 billion per year. Each of Egypt's 104 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $3,428. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
