Comparing global debt
burdens depends heavily on the lens used: overall dollar amount versus economic
proportion. Based on 2026 IMF projections for the world's top 30 indebted
governments, the contrast is stark.
While the U.S. holds the largest total debt footprint globally at $40.7
trillion, Japan faces the highest relative strain, with debt exceeding 204% of
its economy. Meanwhile, multiple European nations rank near the top in debt
relative to GDP, even though their total debt figures are modest compared to
economic powerhouses like the U.S. and China.
Malaysia
is not in the above chart because our debt to GDP is approximately 63.1% (and
statutory debt ratio is at 62% of GDP, below the limit of 65%)
