Overview
Tajikistan's short-term debt stood at 7.63% in 2025, a decline of +4.85% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.63% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 65th globally.
Tajikistan’s short‑term external debt rose from a zero baseline in 1992 to an all‑time peak of 23.23 % of GDP in 2013, reflecting a rapid accumulation of near‑term liabilities during the post‑Soviet transition and subsequent fiscal consolidation efforts. After the 1993 trough, when short‑term debt again registered 0.00 % of GDP, the indicator fluctuated before declining sharply in the 2010s, reaching 7.63 % in 2025, which places the country at rank 65 globally and aligns closely with peers such as Guinea (7.64 %) and Pakistan (7.57 %). The long‑term downward trajectory since the 2013 peak suggests that tighter monetary policy and improved debt‑service capacity have curbed short‑term borrowing, although any resurgence in external financing needs or macro‑economic shocks could reverse this trend. Continued fiscal discipline and diversification of financing sources are likely to sustain the modest level of short‑term debt in the coming years.
