About Greece's National Debt
Greece sits at the center of the modern sovereign-debt story: its 2010 crisis triggered the largest bailouts in history and years of austerity under EU and IMF programmes. Still among the most indebted nations relative to GDP, Greece has since returned to primary surpluses, regained market access, and seen its ratio fall.
Greece's debt-to-GDP ratio of 146% is in the critical range, well above IMF concern thresholds, where debt-service costs consume a large share of revenue and crowd out public services and investment. By total government debt, Greece ranks 26th of the 137 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $397 per second, Greece adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $13 billion per year. Each of Greece's 10 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $40,127. That is above 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.
