Analysis# Tunisia National Debt (% of GDP)
Tunisia's national debt stands at 82.6% of GDP in 2026, approaching its all-time peak of 84% recorded in 2023. This represents a dramatic shift from 2010, when debt reached its lowest point at 38.8% of GDP—a total increase of 30.5 percentage points over the 35-year data range. The country's debt burden has more than doubled since 1991, reflecting decades of fiscal challenges and economic pressures.
The sharpest debt acceleration occurred between 2017 and 2023, when the ratio jumped from 67.1% to 84% in just six years. A modest recovery began in 2024, dipping to 83.4%, with projections showing continued gradual decline through 2025 (80.6%) before rising again to 82.6% in 2026. This volatile pattern suggests Tunisia faces ongoing fiscal pressures despite recent improvements, with debt levels remaining substantially elevated compared to the pre-2010 era.
