Government debt during each head of government's tenure

Every head of government since 1991, ranked by how the government debt changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of GDP · IMF World Economic Outlook, general government gross debt (GGXWDG_NGDP), calendar years, the years of actual figures only (the latest an estimate), from 1997 · Albania data · as of Sep 2026.
