Interest payments across the 38 OECD member countries hit 3.3% of GDP in 2024 \u2014 up from 3.0% in 2023 and reaching the highest level since at least 2007\u2014surpassing the 2.4% spent on military budgets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Governments are continuing to borrow to plug the gap:<\/strong> Governments and companies borrowed USD 25 tn globally from markets in 2024, nearly triple the amount in 2007, the report added. This is set to continue to rise this year, with governments alone forecasted to issue USD 17 tn in sovereign debt, up from USD 16 tn last year. Nearly half of all OECD sovereign debt will mature by 2027, a refinancing cliff that risks squeezing fiscal space as yields climb and investment needs surge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The US saw a sharp rise in interest payments<\/strong>, rising to 4.7% of GDP, followed by Italy at 4.1% and the UK at 2.9% and France at 2.1%.
