More than 7.3 million adults in Germany are over-indebted. Their share rose to 10.58% in 2026, up 0.42 percentage points from the previous year, amid rising energy, housing and basic-goods costs and a slowing economy. The crisis is hitting people aged 30 to 49 particularly hard, while over-indebtedness among those under 30 increased by 5.8% to 1.17 million. The spread of installment purchases and “buy now, pay later” services has also been noted. Credit reform company Creditreform expects the numbers to keep rising, while some people seeking help wait more than a year for debt counseling. Rates vary by region, from 15.89% in Bremen to 7.58% in Bavaria.
