Global debt levels exceed 365 trillion dollars

Total global debt has surpassed 365 trillion dollars. Advanced economies are currently spending more on interest payments than on global investments in artificial intelligence, defense, or clean technology. The rising cost of servicing existing debt is creating a cycle that diverts capital away from critical sectors. Economists note that the scale of interest obligations is now outpacing major global spending initiatives. Monitor how central bank interest rate policies influence the sustainability of these debt servicing costs.
