Total debt service as % of exports DT.TDS.DECT.EX.ZS
Tajikistan's debt service was 7.95% in 2025, ranked 77th globally. This represents a 9.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2002–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's debt service stood at 7.95% in 2025, a decline of +0.82% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.95% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 77th globally.
Tajikistan’s debt‑service ratio has fallen sharply from an all‑time peak of 30.89 in 2010 to a trough of 4.13 in 2007, before climbing again to 12.61 in 2002 and then declining steadily to 7.95 in 2025, a level that places the country 77th globally. The 24‑year series shows a pronounced downward trend since the post‑peak correction, reflecting tighter fiscal consolidation and a modest improvement in external financing conditions. Compared with peers of similar rank, Tajikistan’s 2025 figure is close to Azerbaijan’s 7.62 and slightly below India’s 8.33, suggesting that its debt‑service burden remains modest relative to many developing economies. The sustained reduction since the 2010 high indicates that fiscal reforms and gradual debt‑stock stabilization have been effective, although any reversal in export earnings or a sharp rise in borrowing costs could stall the decline. Continued diversification of revenue sources and prudent borrowing will be essential to keep the ratio on a downward trajectory.
