General government gross debt as % of GDP GGXWDG_NGDP
Morocco's government debt to gdp was 67.21% in 2025, ranked 55th globally. This represents a 0.8% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Morocco's government debt to gdp stood at 67.21% in 2025, a decline of +0.53% from 2024. The IMF projects 67.21% by 2025. Morocco ranked 55th globally.
Morocco’s government debt-to‑GDP ratio stood at 67.21 in 2025, placing the country 55th in the world according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. The ratio has fluctuated over the 36‑year series, reaching an all‑time high of 74.70 in 1993 before falling to a trough of 41.99 in 2008, a decline that coincided with the global financial crisis and subsequent fiscal consolidation. Since the trough, debt has risen steadily, reflecting higher public spending and slower growth, and now aligns closely with peers such as Kenya (68.02) and Grenada (67.72). The upward trajectory suggests that without further structural reforms or a boost in revenue, the debt ratio is likely to remain near the mid‑60s, while any acceleration in economic growth or fiscal tightening could moderate the increase.
