Government Debt (% of GDP)

1990 to 2024

Central government debt only, not the broader general-government measure used on most other country pages here (no general-government series is currently available for Singapore). Singapore's debt figures are also unusual because most government debt is issued to develop domestic capital markets and fund the reserves system, not to finance a deficit; unlike most countries, this is not primarily a sign of fiscal strain.
