Exact value
3,637,668,400,000 USD
Perimeter

Consolidated general-government gross Maastricht debt at face value. Original euro amounts are converted once using the adopted year-end exchange rate. This is not all debt owed by everyone in the country.

What this measures
General-government consolidated gross debt at face value on the Maastricht definition, Q4 2025, as published in euro.
What it does not measure
Market-value debt, net debt, central-government-only debt, external debt, or a debt-to-GDP ratio.
Calculation

Converted exactly once, from:

Caveat
The published euro amount converted exactly once at the December 31, 2025 reference rate. A nominal conversion, not an inflation or purchasing-power adjustment; the extra decimal digits come from the rate and add no statistical precision.
Display step
1,000,000,000 — the precision this figure is shown at
Review status
Computed from the claims listed under Calculation; no separate publication of its own.

  • Government debt, fourth quarter 2025

    Eurostat. April 22, 2026 release; gov_10q_ggdebt; selected rows in EUR millions.

    Q4 2025; released April 22, 2026. Status as of 2026-09-13.

    Retrieved again from the publisher on that date. The figure is general-government consolidated gross debt at face value (the Maastricht definition), kept in euros as published. An older address on the publisher's site, /en/web/products-euro-indicators/, is an equivalent reference.

  • 2025 end-of-period USD per EUR reference rate

    ECB. Series EXR.A.USD.EUR.SP00.E; 2025 annual end-of-period observation 1.1750; updated December 31, 2025.

    2025 annual end-of-period observation; updated December 31, 2025. Status as of 2026-09-13.

    Only partly retrieved. The publisher's page returned a server error on that date, but the ECB's indexed result confirms the rate of 1.1750, and a companion notice is in the Official Journal of the European Union (eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/C/2026/44). We keep that rate.
