Who We Are &
What We Stand For
Gosdebter is an independent, non-commercial information portal. Our purpose is to make complex global debt data accessible, understandable, and free for everyone.
"To demystify global sovereign debt through clear, independent, and freely accessible information — empowering citizens, researchers, and policymakers alike."
We believe that understanding public debt is not the exclusive domain of economists and financiers. Every citizen is a stakeholder in their government's fiscal decisions.
Why We Built Gosdebter
Gosdebter was founded in response to a clear gap: while comprehensive debt data exists across dozens of institutional sources, it is rarely presented in a form accessible to a general audience. Terminology is technical, datasets are fragmented, and context is often absent.
Our team aggregates information from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, Bank for International Settlements (BIS), OECD, and national central banks, synthesising it into coherent, readable analyses.
We have no commercial interests. We do not sell data, accept advertising, or offer paid tiers. Every piece of content on this portal is freely available to anyone with an internet connection.
What Guides Our Work
Four core values shape every editorial and analytical decision we make.
Independence
We are editorially independent, free from government, financial institution, or corporate influence. Our analysis follows the data, not any agenda.
Transparency
Every figure we publish is sourced from publicly available, authoritative datasets. We cite our sources prominently and note data limitations clearly.
Accessibility
Complex economic concepts are explained in plain language. We provide glossaries, contextual explanations, and visual aids to support understanding.
Public Service
Access to financial literacy should not depend on wealth or formal education. All content on Gosdebter is and will remain free of charge, permanently.

Finance ministries, debt management offices, and central banks publish official data on domestic debt, yields, and fiscal balances, which we incorporate for country-level analysis.
Country-LevelData Has Boundaries. We Acknowledge Them.
All data on Gosdebter is drawn from public sources and is intended for informational purposes only. Figures may differ across sources due to varying definitions of government debt, methodological differences, or revision cycles. We are not financial advisors, and nothing on this portal constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice.
