Debt increase strains G7 economies

Rising debt levels and the costs of servicing them are putting pressure on the economies of the G7 countries. The U.S. debt exceeded $40 trillion in 2026, with annual interest payments rising to a trillion dollars for the first time. U.S. 30-year Treasury bond yields reached 5.33%, the highest since 2007. The United Kingdom faces government bond yields approaching 6%, with debt interest payments estimated at around £109 billion for 2026-2027. France expects its debt servicing costs to reach €59 billion in 2026. Italy, on the other hand, is heading toward spending approximately 9% of its revenues on interest payments by 2028. Japan is experiencing an increase in long-term bond yields. In most G7 countries, interest payments have surpassed military spending since 2024, with public debt projected to rise to $75.8 trillion (about 104% of GDP) by 2026. As bond yields increase, they are becoming more attractive to investors as an alternative to stocks.
