About Paraguay's National Debt
Paraguay keeps debt low through conservative fiscal policy, underpinned by agricultural exports and hydropower, maintaining macroeconomic stability.
Paraguay's debt-to-GDP ratio of 38% is low by international standards: higher than 22% 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, Paraguay ranks 100th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $145 per second, Paraguay adds about $13 million to its government debt every day — roughly $4.6 billion per year. Each of Paraguay's 6 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $3,495. 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.
