Abstract	This study comprehensively analysed the debt and economic growth dynamics from 2000 to 2025. We have used the Web of Science core collection database to examine the performance analysis and science mapping. Through yearly publications and citations, influential journals, bibliometric coupling and network analysis reveals that over the decade’s scholarly works in the field of debt and economic growth have risen which reflects the relevance of the topic. Keyword co-occurrence and science mapping have found that debates revolve around the debt-growth nexus, debt sustainability and fiscal management around the world. Cross country analysis helps us to understand the contributions from different groups of countries. The present study comprehensively examined all aspects related to the debt and economic growth nexus and also suggests some directions pertaining to future research through bibliometric analysis methodology.
