About Nepal's National Debt
Nepal keeps debt moderate, relying on remittances and largely concessional borrowing to fund infrastructure and post-earthquake reconstruction.
Nepal's debt-to-GDP ratio of 47% is moderate: higher than 36% 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, Nepal ranks 102nd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $29 per second, Nepal adds about $3 million to its government debt every day — roughly $915 million per year. Each of Nepal's 30 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $754. 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.
