The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) anticipates total government bond debt across its 38 member countries will climb to $56 trillion in 2024, up from $54 trillion in 2023. This is an increase of $30 trillion compared to 2008. The OECD's Global Debt Report 2024: Bond Markets in a High-Debt Environment said the US accounts for approximately half of the projected $56 trillion debt figure, double its share compared to 2008. The European Union represents around 20% of the total, while Japan makes up 16% and the UK constitutes 6%. At the end of 2023, the total volume of sovereign and corporate bond debt was almost $100 trillion, similar in size to global GDP. Around 40% of sovereign bonds and 37% of corporate bonds globally will mature by 2026. This pending refinancing will require further borrowing from markets amid higher interest rate levels. #oecd #useconomy #financenews # Financial literacy #yin UCC

Demographic changes, slowing economic growth and decarbonisation will require the mobilisation of tens of trillions of dollars. Successfully managing this might be the defining issue facing the global economy.   This is why published this report - a useful tool to help policy makers navigate the uncertainty of today’s debt markets.   Have a look: https://lnkd.in/g5AAKPX2 See here the key findings: https://lnkd.in/dfghdgQr
