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 above the IMF's informal 60% benchmark, though still manageable for a government with deep capital markets and institutional credibility. By total government debt, Israel ranks 26th of the 138 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $1K per second, Israel adds about $0.1 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $36 billion per year. Each of Israel's 10 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $39,361. 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.
