Overview

Cambodia’s interest payments to revenue have risen steadily over the 23‑year series, climbing from a trough of 1.17 % in 2002 to an all‑time peak of 2.07 % in 2025, the latest figure reported by the World Bank. The 2025 ratio places Cambodia at 86th globally, marginally below Germany’s 2.06 % and closely aligned with the Kyrgyz Republic’s 2.06 % but ahead of Ecuador’s 2.21 % and Andorra’s 2.25 %. This upward trajectory reflects expanding fiscal obligations as public debt grows, while revenue growth has not kept pace. The persistent increase suggests that without reforms to broaden the tax base or improve debt management, the share of interest outlays in total revenue may continue to climb. Strengthening fiscal consolidation measures could, however, stabilize or reverse the current trend.
