Iraq’s domestic public debt reached 87.748 trillion dinars (about $61.53B) at the end of June 2025, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) said on Tuesday.

According to official statistics, the figure marked a 2.56 percent increase from May’s 85.503 trillion dinars. It was also up 5.35 percent from the end of 2024, when debt stood at 83.050 trillion dinars, and 19.59 percent higher than in 2023, when it amounted to 70.558 trillion dinars.

The rise was attributed mainly to higher payments to farmers, which climbed to 14.830 trillion dinars from 12.568 trillion.
