The International Institute of Finance's data from "Precious Views" shows that global debt increased by over $10 trillion in the first half of this year, reaching a record high of $365 trillion, with emerging market debt rising by $6.5 trillion to $110 trillion. The scale of global debt accounts for 310% of GDP, which, although lower than the peak in 2021, is estimated to be due to inflation pushing up nominal GDP rather than genuine deleveraging.
The International Institute of Finance stated that the average government borrowing cost for G7 economies has risen to the highest level since mid-2008, with annual interest expenses increasing by 85%. As global interest rates begin to rise, it is expected that the growing global debt will加重 future interest payment pressures.
The report highlights a significant increase in loans related to investments in artificial intelligence (AI). Non-financial corporate debt in the United States has reached as high as $24 trillion, with private credit loans accounting for more than 5%. Due to the持续 rise in U.S. Treasury yields and the rapid development of AI increasing financing needs, companies are expected to issue bonds at higher interest rates to raise funds. The International Institute of Finance noted that in the past year, developed economies paid over $3.3 trillion in interest on internationally traded government bonds, still higher than the estimated global AI spending of $2.6 trillion and defense spending of $3.1 trillion.
