Somalia's short-term debt has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 56 years, with a notable increase in the recent decade.

As of 2025, Somalia's short-term debt stands at 34.04, ranking among the top eight countries globally. This is slightly lower than peer countries such as Kosovo, which holds a slightly higher debt of 36.67, and Thailand, which has a debt of 36.36. The decline in debt since the 2019 peak suggests a potential stabilization of Somalia's short-term debt. However, a significant improvement in the country's economic outlook, facilitated by enhanced international cooperation and robust economic reforms, would be required to reverse the trend and propel Somalia towards a more sustainable debt management trajectory.
