Tajikistan's government debt to gdp was 21.97% in 2025, ranked 167th globally. This represents a 11.9% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1998–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's government debt to gdp stood at 21.97% in 2025, a decline of +2.98% from 2024. The IMF projects 21.97% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 167th globally.
Tajikistan’s government debt-to‑GDP ratio has fallen dramatically over the 28‑year span covered by the IMF World Economic Outlook, sliding from a high of 111.43 % in 2000 to a trough of 21.97 % in 2025, the lowest level recorded in the series and ranking 167th globally. The early 2000s peak reflected a period of fiscal strain amid post‑Soviet transition, while successive reforms, tighter budgetary discipline and modest external borrowing have driven the sustained decline. By 2025 the ratio stands at 21.97 %, closely matching peers such as Azerbaijan (22.39 %) and the Russian Federation (23.05 %). This convergence suggests that Tajikistan’s debt profile is aligning with other emerging economies that have pursued similar consolidation strategies. Continued emphasis on fiscal prudence and gradual economic diversification will be crucial to maintain the downward trajectory and prevent a reversal of the recent improvements.
