The list of countries by national debt ratio gives an overview of the national debt of almost all countries in the world in relation to gross domestic product (GDP). In addition, the net government debt ratio (debt minus receivables) of various countries is given.

Countries by national debt ratio

If you want to compare the national debt ratios of different countries, you have to take into account that the economies are of different sizes. Therefore, the total debt is related to the gross domestic product (GDP). Example: In 2013, Japan's national debt was 243 percent of GDP. This means that the entire economy would have to work for 2.43 years and hand over the proceeds in full to the creditors of the Japanese state in order to pay off the national debt (although of course further debt interest and government expenses arise during this time).

The following table shows the government debt (gross, without offsetting government claims on third parties) relative to the respective GDP from 1990 to 2017. The information is without obligations for civil servants' pensions, health insurance, health care and pension insurance for which there is no funding. If the hidden national debt is included , the national debt ratio would increase many times over. The overview contains 180 of the 193 states recognized by the United Nations as well as information for Hong Kong and Taiwan .

There are - few - countries without national debt, including Liechtenstein .
