About Syria's National Debt
Syria faces enormous postwar reconstruction needs after years of conflict and sanctions, with public finances opaque and the currency severely depreciated.
Syria's debt-to-GDP ratio of 98% exceeds the IMF's 90% threshold associated with potential growth drag. Stabilising it would require sustained primary surpluses — spending less than tax revenue before interest. By total government debt, Syria ranks 92nd of the 138 governments tracked here.
Syria carries no net new borrowing at this rate, reflecting a budget surplus or a debt-reduction programme. Each of Syria's 21 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $1,033. 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.
