About DBT News
A debt tracker built on official figures: the US national debt to the penny for every business day since 1993, who holds it, and government debt as a share of GDP in nearly 200 countries.
DBT News republishes the US Treasury’s Debt to the Penny series as one page per business day, with the change from the previous record and from a year earlier, and splits the total into debt held by the public and intragovernmental holdings. The Monthly Statement of the Public Debt adds the split between marketable and non-marketable securities.
Country pages use the IMF World Economic Outlook — general government gross debt, net lending or borrowing, GDP and the current account — up to 2025; IMF projections for later years are not shown. World Bank figures for central government debt are given where reported. We publish numbers and their sources, not forecasts, commentary or investment advice.
