About Turkmenistan's National Debt
Turkmenistan's debt-to-GDP ratio of 3% is low by international standards: higher than 1% of the 194 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, Turkmenistan ranks 162nd of the 194 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $2 per second, Turkmenistan adds about $173 thousand to its government debt every day — roughly $63 million per year. Each of Turkmenistan's 7 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $360. That is below the world average of roughly $14,700 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.
