Understanding the Global Debt Super Cycle

The global debt super cycle refers to the prolonged period of increasing debt levels on a global scale that has been sustained by artificially low interest rates. Companies and governments have taken advantage of this environment to borrow more and more, leading to a buildup of debt. The debt growth model, often used by companies, involves leveraging cheap debt for various purposes, including share buybacks and acquisitions, but this model is unsustainable in the long run. We are currently in extra innings of the global debt super cycle, where interest rates are rising after an extended period of suppression.
