Guinea Net Debt and Interest
The IMF publishes no net debt figure for Guinea, so only the gross figure can be shown. The IMF's figures put Guinea's net interest bill at about 0.9% of GDP in 2025, about $403 million, or 7.6% of government revenue. That is 79th of the 177 governments ranked by interest as a share of revenue.

Net interest is the primary balance minus the overall balance. A government in default or arrears can show a low figure that understates what it owes. Data · method.
About Guinea's National Debt
Guinea's debt ratio is low by international standards. On IMF figures it stayed between about 25% and 29% of GDP from 2015 to 2023, then rose to about 36% as the government borrowed for infrastructure. Its outlook is being reshaped by Simandou, one of the world's largest iron ore deposits: the IMF expects exports and government revenue to rise sharply as output ramps up from 2025, while tying the budget more closely to the price of iron ore.
Guinea's debt-to-GDP ratio of 36% is low by international standards: higher than 26% 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, Guinea ranks 114th of the 194 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $13 per second, Guinea adds about $1 million to its government debt every day — roughly $410 million per year. Each of Guinea's 16 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $969. That is below the world average of roughly $14,700 in government debt per person.
