ℹ️ Why the year? These are the latest official, audited figures Canada has reported to the World Bank. Each country publishes on its own schedule (often 1–3 years behind), so years can differ between countries. Only the U.S. publishes a daily debt feed, which is why it has a live counter.

About these numbers

  • This is central government debt only. It does not include state, provincial, or local government debt, so it can be lower than "general government" figures you see elsewhere.
  • Figures are published once a year, usually with a 1–2 year delay. They are not a live counter.
  • Amounts are in each country's own currency, so countries can't simply be added up into one world total.
  • Source: World Bank World Development Indicators (GC.DOD.TOTL.CN, GC.DOD.TOTL.GD.ZS); original data from the IMF Government Finance Statistics. Debt per person is our calculation.
