The world is in debt. A record amount of debt. Three hundred trillion dollars, to be exact.

A version of this story first appeared in CNN Business’ Before the Bell newsletter. Not a subscriber? You can sign up right here. You can listen to an audio version of the newsletter by clicking the same link. That’s the total amount that governments, households and corporations around the world owed in June 2022, as estimated by the Institute of International Finance.

“Failure to meet the government’s obligations would cause irreparable harm to the US economy, the livelihoods of all Americans, and global financial stability,” she wrote. “Indeed, in the past, even threats that the U.S. government might fail to meet its obligations have caused real harm, including the only credit rating downgrade in the history of our nation in 2011.” Moody’s Analytics sees a failure to lift the debt limit as “cataclysmic.

And who is the world indebted to? There's a 1% in control of everything, probably worth more than the 'debt' owed. Cancel student loans, reduce mortgage rates, provide opportunities so borrowing is reduced but then how do you do this when the 1% thrives off the impoverished.

Over 10% of this debt is US National Debt so... 🙂 Dollar is debt. bitcoin will fix it.

They’re all in debt to each other aren’t they?

It's not if there will be a worldwide economic collapse, it's when.

I’m excited for fiat currencies all around the world to implode

Who do we owe the money to ? The Deceptacons?

Has does global debt exceed global gdp

The South is Hiding from YANKEE

The world is in debt to whom exactly? Did we secretly make contact with some form of extraterrestrial life, that has been loaning us money? Oh, wait, you just mean violent greedy assholes who have stolen and hoarded the earth’s resources for their own, as if they had the right
