About Guyana's National Debt
Guyana's debt ratio has collapsed not by paying down debt but because vast new offshore oil has made it one of the fastest-growing economies on earth, inflating GDP.
Guyana's debt-to-GDP ratio of 29% is low by international standards: higher than 10% 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, Guyana ranks 125th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $78 per second, Guyana adds about $7 million to its government debt every day — roughly $2.5 billion per year. Each of Guyana's 1 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $11,746. 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.
