About Suriname's National Debt
Suriname defaulted and restructured its debt, but major offshore oil discoveries hold the promise of transforming its strained public finances later this decade.
Suriname's debt-to-GDP ratio of 86% is elevated above the IMF's informal 60% benchmark, though still manageable for a government with deep capital markets and institutional credibility. By total government debt, Suriname ranks 137th of the 138 governments tracked here.
Suriname carries no net new borrowing at this rate, reflecting a budget surplus or a debt-reduction programme. Each of Suriname's 1 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $3,333. 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.
