Deep dives
The impact of debt on the global economy
The podcast explores the issue of global debt and its impact on the economy. The accumulation of debt, especially in recent years, has led to increasing debt service expenses, which in turn squeeze out consumption. The cycle of borrowing and spending has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for governments to provide financial support. Central banks have been forced to intervene by buying up bonds and keeping interest rates low. However, this approach has led to negative consequences, such as rising inflation. The podcast discusses the challenges of resolving the debt crisis and the need for governments to find sustainable solutions.
