About Niger's National Debt
Niger keeps debt low, but the 2023 coup and ensuing regional sanctions disrupted financing and aid for one of the world's poorest, uranium-exporting economies.
Niger's debt-to-GDP ratio of 46% is moderate: higher than 35% 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, Niger ranks 123rd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $36 per second, Niger adds about $3 million to its government debt every day — roughly $1.1 billion per year. Each of Niger's 30 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $352. 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.
