History / IMF estimates

Congo - Brazzaville: IMF data and estimates put government debt at 100.4% of GDP in 2025. The derived debt amount is US$ 15.5 billion.

  • The debt-to-GDP ratio is 6.6 percentage points above its 2024 level.
  • This is above the median of 52.85% of GDP across 192 countries with data for the selected year.

The DataMapper API does not provide the actual/estimate cutoff for each country and series. Past years are therefore labelled history/IMF estimates, the current year estimate/projection, and later years projections. Historical values can be revised. There is no simulated real-time debt counter.
