Analysis# Saint Vincent and the Grenadines National Debt (% of GDP)
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines carries a national debt of 90.5% of GDP in 2026, just below its all-time peak of 94% recorded in 2025. Since 1990, the debt burden has surged 63.7 percentage points from a low of 39.3% in 1997, reflecting a sustained structural shift in the country's fiscal position over three decades.
The sharpest debt acceleration occurred between 2019 and 2025, when the ratio jumped from 68.2% to 94% in just six years—a 25.8 percentage point increase driven by pandemic-related spending and economic pressures. The 2026 projection shows a modest decline to 90.5%, suggesting a potential stabilization phase, though the debt-to-GDP ratio remains historically elevated and well above pre-crisis levels.
