About Israel's National Debt
Israel's debt ratio, long on a downward path, has risen again under the cost of the 2023-25 conflict and elevated defense spending, though it remains moderate by developed-economy standards.
Israel's debt-to-GDP ratio of 68% is elevated: higher than 67% 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, Israel ranks 23rd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $3K per second, Israel adds about $262 million to its government debt every day — roughly $95.7 billion per year. Each of Israel's 10 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $48,218. That is above 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.
