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 43% sits broadly within the range the IMF considers sustainable for an economy with sound institutions. By total government debt, Niger ranks 128th of the 138 governments tracked here.
Niger carries no net new borrowing at this rate, reflecting a budget surplus or a debt-reduction programme. Each of Niger's 25 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $200. 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.
