The United States has emerged as the most indebted nation in the world, carrying a staggering $32.9 trillion in national debt, according to a new report by World Population Review. The debt is equivalent to roughly $76,000 per American citizen.
This puts Pakistan miles behind the US and even India, which crossed the trillion-dollar threshold in debt, while Pakistan is still in the billions.
According to the data, China follows the U.S. with $15 trillion, while Japan ranks third with $10.9 trillion in total debt.
The report places India at seventh place globally, with a total public debt of $3 trillion, making each Indian citizen liable for around $504.
Other countries in the top ten include the United Kingdom and France (both at $3.4 trillion), Italy ($3.1 trillion), Germany ($2.8 trillion), Canada ($2.3 trillion), and Brazil ($1.8 trillion).
The report also notes that Pakistan ranks 33rd globally, with a national debt of $260.8 billion and an average debt burden of $543 per citizen, while Bangladesh owes $177.6 billion, translating to $611 per citizen.
Among Muslim-majority nations, Indonesia tops the debt chart with $543 billion, followed by Egypt ($377 billion), Turkey ($330 billion), Saudi Arabia ($280 billion), and Malaysia ($278 billion).
In contrast, Afghanistan has one of the lowest debt levels in the world at $1.6 billion, or just $30 per citizen.

Pakistan is 1000 times poorer then both
And youthiaz are 1000 noori saal away from recognizing the facts :))
And patwaris are 100th million noori Saal away to fact check the truth which is not accepting facts
Good . Go tell them that .
Noticed you didn’t prove me wrong . Truth hurts I see
COPE HARDER YOOTHIA
😂😂
Good . Go tell them that.
Us has dollar and highest output
What do you have ? A beggar pm 😆
Pls go and read the ” GLOBAL POVERTY ” index, in this India has a share of 33℅ which is the highest share any country has in the world poverty index. Do you know how much share Pakistan has in this index? Just 3℅.
Now compare 33℅ with 3℅.
Their are more middle class people in Pakistan than in India , Nepal and Sri Lanka.
According to the reports of Credit Suisse ( Global Financial Agency) , the middle class population of Pakistan is richer and bigger as compared to that of India.
According to Global Economic Prospect Reports relaased by World Bank, the GDP growth of India is in fact not near or exactly 7℅ or 8℅ but somewhere close to 3 or 4℅.
Since 2022 and 2024 , the poor people in India have increased from 32 billion to 64 billion now.
Pls also check CMIE survey reports (Center for Monitoring Indian Economy).
The per capita GDP of India is even lower than that of Bangladesh.
out of total 100℅ of the worlds poor people, at least half of them live in India.
You might also be surprised to know that the poor people of India includes dalits( lower caste Hindus) and Muslims.
Out of 100℅ of the poors in India, at least 75℅ of the poors are Muslims.
Just imagine a country like India which has even more population of Muslims than Pakistan does, and out of 100 percent of the total population of India, the 14 percent of population in India is of Muslims , in spite of having such low number and being a minority in the country, still majority of them live in poverty in India.
debt to gdp dekho na pakistan dono se aage hoga😂 300 gdp wali country ka ab trillion dollar country se kiya comparison
Nothing to be proud of and nothing to celebrate upon. You beg like none else. Please stay within your limits and do not publish sensational news.
Had this news emerged in Imran era youthiaz might get die while performing bhangraz unaywah. :D No body is celebrating btw where you get this impression:)
Yayyyy strawman argument.
By your logic, you admit your sugar daddy sherif is guilty
It’s reality bro, india hides it debt, but is one of the most indebt, you can tell because how badly the poor suffer there. At least Pakistani poor are smiling
I haven’t seen a country in the world like India which arrogantly and very confidently claims to have one of the fastest growing economy in the world and which claims to be the largest democracy in the world but inspite of that, it has more serious issues than Pakistan and other neigbhouring countries.
India doesn’t need to beg as western countries already know it’s position.
This is why some years ago World Bank gave millions of US $ to Indian government so it could solve problems of sanitation in various areas of India.
According to Times of India and other news sources, their are total 10 countries in the world which recieve economic aid from America since 1950s. The list also includes Pakistan but India is at the top of that list. Since 1950s India has received highest amount of economic aid from America in billions of US$ . Now keeping in view the current situation of India where the country has so much poverty, ask your BJP government that were does all this aid money given by America actually goes?
Also ask another question to BJP government of India that since last 10 or 11 years, how much has the poverty reduced in India?
How much has the middle class population grown in India since last 10 years?
How many jobs were produced under BJP government in India since last 10 or 11 years ?
Ask these questions to them.
It is not the debt which matters it is your capacity to service it.
Pakistani aren’t the reason for this debt , only elite politicians and establishment are the main culprits
U mean BAJWA, Musharaff etc??
🤣
Field marshal 😆
This is an incredibly crude way to analyze debt situation of a nation. When analyzing something like this debt relative to GDP and repayment capacity is what matters. Reporter would do well if he does his home work and consider looking at things such as interest payments relative to GDP and principal amount payment capacity etc.
Of course it’ll be lower…. They never returned any money given to them and have been written off by majority countries in the world…. And the economy is not of that size that they can gather too much of debt. For a country that has been designated a non profitable asset…. What did you expect?
This ranking is a reflection of the development status of countries rather than that of governance and economic health. Banks and financial institutions are there to facilitate contries (enterprises and individuals) to move on with their developmental vision, mission and goals. No country, enterprise or even individuals can break boundaries of development without using the assistance of these institutions. The important thing to remember is to be clear about the ability to pay back the debt as planned and not let it become a burden.
We’re not reading that unc 😂🤣
Don’t know how absolutely dangar of an illiterate patwaris are, but Pakistan will default if not for IMF lifeline, not to mention the fact that several thousand industries closed since 2022. India on the other hand, has close to miraculous growth rate as well as solid industrial base.
So… Who were the Cause of nearly Pakistan’s “Default”!??
Hint: ⌚️ CHOOR 😂🤣
That’s the current pm 😆
Loan ranking need to be on a percentage of gdp or total economy. I would also accept per person amount.
None Of This Matters,Even If They Have This Much Debt They Also Have The Power To Get Rid Of This Debt,What Matters Is How There People Are Doing,Aside From One Or Two Countries All Of Them Have High Life Expectancy,Have Good Healthcare Facilities,Are Far More Developed,Avg Person Earns Really Good,There Are Countless Things In Which They Are Far More Better Than Pakistan,Debt Is A Joke For Them They Can Get Rid Of That Any Moment But If Pakistan Does The Same They Will Be Absolutely Destroyed,Not To Mention The Fact That At The Pace Pakistan Is Going They Will Catch Up With Them In No Time
