About Peru's National Debt
Peru maintains one of the lowest debt ratios in Latin America, the result of prudent macroeconomic management, though political instability has periodically clouded the outlook.
Peru is one of the world's more fiscally conservative governments, with debt at 30% of GDP — a low ratio that leaves substantial headroom for stimulus or crisis response without threatening sustainability. By total government debt, Peru ranks 56th of the 137 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $352 per second, Peru adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $11 billion per year. Each of Peru's 33 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $3,358. 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.
