flag Pakistan’s debt hit $286.8 billion by June 2025, with debt-to-GDP at 70% due to rising borrowing and slow growth.

flag Pakistan’s public debt reached $286.8 billion by June 2025, a 13% increase from the previous year, with the debt-to-GDP ratio rising to 70% due to slower nominal GDP growth. flag Domestic debt climbed 15% to PKR 54.5 trillion, while external debt rose 6% to $91.8 billion, fueled by IMF disbursements, a $1 billion ADB-backed loan, and other multilateral funding. flag The federal government holds 84% of external debt, with Punjab the largest provincial borrower at $6.18 billion, followed by Sindh, which saw the sharpest provincial increase. flag Despite fiscal consolidation and improved debt maturity, rising interest payments and reliance on borrowing underscore ongoing economic fragility.
