Datoria globală depăşeşte 365.000 de miliarde de dolari. Avertismentul economiștilor

Global debt has surpassed $365 trillion, increasing by $10 trillion in the first half of the year, according to the Institute of International Finance. Economists highlight concerns in the US, Japan, France, and the UK due to high deficits and rising interest expenses. Developed economies paid over $3.3 trillion in interest on government bonds last year, exceeding global spending on AI, defense, and clean energy. The IIF warns of a political issue arising from debt, creating a cycle of short-term solutions and long-term vulnerabilities. Rising interest rates are expected to increase debt servicing costs, while structural pressures from healthcare and pensions remain unresolved. The OECD emphasizes the need for public spending reforms to ensure long-term debt sustainability and government responsiveness to economic shocks. IMF's Kristalina Georgieva urges governments to prioritize fiscal consolidation and debt reduction.
