About Pakistan's National Debt
Pakistan's debt is a recurring source of crisis: a narrow tax base, chronic deficits and heavy external borrowing have forced repeated IMF bailouts, with debt service consuming much of the budget.
Pakistan's debt-to-GDP ratio of 73% is elevated: higher than 70% 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, Pakistan ranks 34th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $551 per second, Pakistan adds about $48 million to its government debt every day — roughly $17.4 billion per year. Each of Pakistan's 245 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $1,270. 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.
