About Mexico's National Debt
Mexico keeps government debt moderate through conservative fiscal policy, though the finances of state oil company Pemex are a significant contingent liability. An increasing share of borrowing is in pesos, reducing foreign-currency exposure.
Mexico's debt-to-GDP ratio of 61% 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, Mexico ranks 14th of the 138 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $3K per second, Mexico adds about $0.2 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $85 billion per year. Each of Mexico's 129 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $7,600. That is below 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.
