{"content":"🚨 G7 Debt Breakdown: How the U.S. Became the World’s Biggest Borrower 🇺🇸💰
The United States now carries $37 trillion in debt — more than the combined total of all six other G7 nations, whose collective debt stands at $26 trillion.
Here’s a quick snapshot 👇
Country Debt-to-GDP GDP ($T) Debt ($T)
🇺🇸 U.S. 122% 30.5 37.2
🇯🇵 Japan 234% 4.2 9.8
🇬🇧 U.K. 103% 3.8 4.0
🇫🇷 France 116% 3.2 3.7
🇮🇹 Italy 137% 2.4 3.3
🇩🇪 Germany 65% 4.7 3.1
🇨🇦 Canada 112% 2.2 2.5
Key insights:
• 🇺🇸 The U.S. owes roughly $106,000 per citizen, adding $1 trillion every 100 days.
• 🇯🇵 Japan leads with the highest debt-to-GDP (234%), but most of it’s domestically held — keeping the risk low.
• 🇩🇪 Germany remains the most fiscally disciplined, with the lowest debt ratio (65%).
• 🇨🇦 Canada carries the smallest total debt ($2.5T) among the G7.
The U.S. debt explosion comes from chronic budget deficits, defense spending, social welfare costs, and aging population expenses. Despite this, investor confidence remains strong — with Japan, the U.K., and China among the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries.
💬 Bottom line:
The G7’s total debt has reached $63 trillion, highlighting just how dependent developed economies have become on borrowing.","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/26/e52efa123db3bdfd802a6d01669c1a54.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
