The International Monetary Fund (IMF) publishes estimates of the UK’s General Government Gross Debt as a percentage of GDP which can be compared to other countries.

The latest IMF numbers show that, at the end of 2025, the UK’s General Government Gross Debt was 102.3% of GDP. The UK has the second lowest level of debt in the G7, 20.7 percentage points lower than the G7 average.
