Notes
Public debt has steadily declined from its pandemic peak but remains elevated at 108.2% of GDP in 2024 per the IMF WEO April 2026 (the April 2025 staff statement described it as "around 100%"). Growth 3.5% in 2024, projected at 4¼% in 2025 on infrastructure investment and the geothermal energy transition. Staff baseline shows the primary balance strengthening gradually toward 2.0% of GDP by 2030 on current policies; the IMF judges a primary surplus of 3½% of GDP from 2026 onward would be needed to bring debt below 60% by 2035. Overall debt-distress risk assessed as high.
