How it works
Official monthly figures · projection labelled · sources linkedThe live number = latest official total + (the official change per second over the past 12 months × seconds since that total). Turkey publishes its debt once a month, not daily, so this is a projection between monthly figures, not an official figure.
projected = 16,202,200,000,000 + 102,682.6484 × (seconds since Sep 30, 2026 11:59:59 PM CT)
The rate is the official change from Sep 30, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026: ₺16,202,200,000,000 − ₺12,964,000,000,000 = ₺3,238,200,000,000 over 365 days = ₺102,682.65 per second. We use the latest twelve months rather than the last month because changes between single reporting dates swing with the issuance calendar and short-term borrowing. The actual path is lumpy (bonds are sold in batches and repaid on schedules), so the projection will drift; when new monthly figures come out, the clock re-bases to the new official figures.
How often it's published. Monthly. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance publishes each month-end debt stock in the following month (about the 20th). The October 2026 month-end figure is expected from the Ministry of Treasury and Finance around the 20th of the following month; this page re-bases to it automatically on the next daily build after it appears.
Per person divides by TurkStat's estimate of 86,092,168 people on Dec 31, 2025. It is not projected forward, so the live per-person figure rises only with the debt.
Note. Why the Ministry's release: it is the Treasury's own monthly statement of the debt it owes and is published in English with the exact figure and date. The fetcher reads the release text and checks that the domestic and foreign-currency parts add up to the total.
Note. Scope: central government only. The wider general government debt measure that Türkiye reports under EU-style definitions (which also includes local governments and social security) is a different, somewhat larger, number and is not the one ticking here.
Note. The lira: figures are in Turkish lira. The World Debt Clock converts them to US dollars at the ECB's daily reference rate for TRY.
Note. Figures from source tables may not add exactly because of rounding in the source.
