What the figures show

History / IMF estimates

Sudan: IMF data and estimates put government debt at 204.4% of GDP in 2025. The derived debt amount is US$ 74.6 billion.

  • The debt-to-GDP ratio is 77.9 percentage points below its 2024 level.
  • This is above the median of 52.85% of GDP across 192 countries with data for the selected year.
  • Over 2015–2025, the debt-to-GDP ratio increases by 111.2 percentage points.

The median is not weighted by economic size. A change in the debt-to-GDP ratio does not necessarily imply the same change in the debt amount. About the data ↗

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.
