About El Salvador's National Debt
El Salvador's debt-to-GDP ratio of 80% is elevated above the IMF's informal 60% benchmark, though still considered manageable for a government with deep capital markets and institutional credibility.
At the current borrowing rate of $22 per second, El Salvador adds approximately $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — around $1 billion per year. Each of El Salvador's 6 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $3,941 of the national debt.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF Government Finance Statistics and World Bank International Debt Statistics baseline data anchored to April 2025. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
