About Libya's National Debt

Libya maintains a debt-to-GDP ratio of 42%, broadly within the range the IMF considers sustainable for a developed economy with strong institutions.

Libya currently carries no net new borrowing at this rate, reflecting either a budget surplus or debt reduction programme. Each of Libya's 7 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $4,000 of the national debt.

Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF Government Finance Statistics and World Bank International Debt Statistics baseline data anchored to April 2025. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
