Regional averages Unweighted mean of the published values in each region — our aggregation, not an official statistic.
How to read this figure Our own calculation: central government debt as a share of GDP multiplied by GDP per person, both World Bank figures — the abstract ratio turned into a number a person can feel. It is an accounting split, not a bill anyone receives; the state also holds assets, and general government debt (with local government and social funds) can be higher. We only compute it when both legs exist.

How to read this list Central government debt divided down to one resident, in US dollars — our calculation from two World Bank figures (debt/GDP × GDP per capita). 83 countries publish it; the rest are absent from the list rather than shown as zero. The figures were observed between 1990 and 2024 — a spread of 408 months — so this compares each country’s latest published number, not one moment in time. Every row carries its own date in the CSV and JSON ; use it. Nothing here is estimated or carried forward to fill a gap. This metric is one column of the full dataset .
