Togo's government debt to gdp was 71.85% in 2025, ranked 48th globally. This represents a 0.3% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 2005–2025.
Overview
Togo's government debt to gdp stood at 71.85% in 2025, a decline of +0.23% from 2024. The IMF projects 71.85% by 2025. Togo ranked 48th globally.
Togo’s government debt-to‑GDP ratio has risen steadily over the 21‑year span from 63.08 in 2005 to a peak of 72.08 in 2024, before slipping slightly to 71.85 in 2025, placing the country 48th globally. The trough of 33.45 in 2010 marked a low point that preceded a prolonged upward trajectory, reflecting increased borrowing to finance infrastructure and social programmes after the global financial crisis. Compared with peers, Togo’s 2025 ratio is marginally below Pakistan’s 71.55 and close to Rwanda’s 73.20, suggesting a similar debt burden among lower‑middle‑income economies that are expanding fiscal space while contending with external financing constraints. The modest decline from the 2024 peak indicates that recent fiscal adjustments may be taking effect, but the ratio remains near its historical maximum. Continued consolidation of public finances and a resilient growth environment will be crucial if Togo is to reverse the upward trend and lower its debt burden in the coming years.
