{"content":"🚨 G7 Debt Breakdown: How the U.S. Became the World’s Largest Borrower 🇺🇸💰
The United States now carries $37 trillion in debt — surpassing the combined total of the other six G7 nations, which together hold $26 trillion.
G7 Debt Snapshot:
Country Debt-to-GDP GDP ($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 has the highest debt-to-GDP (234%), yet most of it is domestically held, reducing systemic risk.
🇩🇪 Germany remains the most fiscally disciplined, with a debt ratio of just 65%.
🇨🇦 Canada carries the smallest total debt among G7 nations at $2.5T.
The U.S. debt surge stems from chronic budget deficits, high defense spending, expansive social welfare programs, and an aging population. Yet, investor confidence remains robust, 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, underscoring how reliant even the world’s most developed economies have become on borrowing.","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/27/ab5fc8d4d82855ad931f8c2219bab0a7.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
