LONDON – Global debt levels hit a new high of more than 27 272 trillion in the third quarter, the International Monetary Fund said.

The agency said global debt would break new records next month and reach 7 277 trillion by the end of the year. This will represent a debt-to-GDP ratio of 5 to 5%.

The global epidemic comes after governments around the world backed companies and citizens, leading to widespread house-to-house orders. Businesses also had to find alternative funding as activities came to a standstill following Kovid-19. Both events translate into higher borrowing and therefore more debt.

“The global debt burden has increased by 15 15 trillion in the first three quarters of 2020 and is now above 2 272 trillion, due to a sharp rise in government and corporate growth as the Kovid-1p epidemic continues,” IIF said in its latest global outbreak. IIF said in its latest Global. Debt Monitor, out Wednesday.

In developed countries, debt has risen to more than 432% of GDP in the third quarter – up 50% from 2019. The United States, which has implemented one of the world’s largest stimulus packages, accounts for about half of this growth.

The pace of global debt accumulation since 2016 is unprecedented.

In the eurozone, public debt increased by 1.5 1.5 trillion over the same period, reaching 53 53 trillion, following government action. In the second quarter of 2011 still, when the sector was facing a sovereign debt crisis, it was below the all-time high of ક્ષેત્ર 3 trillion.

Debt levels in emerging markets have risen to more than 248% of GDP, while Lebanon, China, Malaysia and Turkey are experiencing the largest increases in non-financial sector debt.

However, the coronavirus epidemic is not the only factor blaming large levels of global debt.

“The pace of global debt accumulation has been unprecedented since 2016, with an increase of more than 52 52 trillion,” the IIFA said.

“While this additional 15 15 trillion was recorded in 2020 amid the Covid-19 epidemic, debt surplus in the last four years has surpassed the trillion-dollar increase in the last four years.”

Large levels of debt put governments, companies and households at high risk during an economic downturn because they need to repay that debt.
