Fiji Government Debt to GDP
General government gross debt as % of GDP GGXWDG_NGDP
Fiji's government debt to gdp was 76.62% in 2025, ranked 41st globally. This represents a 3.2% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Fiji's government debt to gdp stood at 76.62% in 2025, a decline of +2.49% from 2024. The IMF projects 76.62% by 2025. Fiji ranked 41st globally.
Fiji’s government debt-to‑GDP ratio has risen steadily since the early 1990s, moving from 44.30 in 1992 to an all‑time peak of 91.49 in 2022, before easing to 76.62 in 2025, which places the country 41st in the global ranking. The trough of 34.72 recorded in 1999 marked a brief period of fiscal restraint, but subsequent expansions in public spending and the fiscal response to natural disasters and the COVID‑19 pandemic pushed debt higher. Over the 34‑year coverage period, the ratio has increased by more than 70 percentage points, outpacing many regional peers; for example, Gabon recorded a comparable level of 76.22 and South Africa 77.34 in the same year. The recent moderation to 76.62 suggests a tentative consolidation phase, yet any resurgence of disaster‑related expenditures or weaker growth could reverse the downward trajectory, while disciplined budgeting and stronger revenue mobilization would be needed to sustain debt reduction.
