About Turkey's National Debt
Turkey maintains a comparatively low government debt-to-GDP ratio, but its finances are overshadowed by very high inflation and a volatile currency that complicate comparison and erode the real value of both debt and incomes.
Turkey's debt-to-GDP ratio of 24% is low by international standards: higher than 4% 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, Turkey ranks 27th of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $913 per second, Turkey adds about $79 million to its government debt every day — roughly $28.8 billion per year. Each of Turkey's 86 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $4,672. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
