Public debt levels could outgrow the world economy within five years, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva has said.
Global public debt will exceed the size of the world economy within five years, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva warned on Wednesday, calling the trend a “sobering reality” for policymakers worldwide.
Public debt refers to the total debt held by governments, businesses, and households. Georgieva said the surge in borrowing is driven by fiscal deficits, pandemic legacies, and rising interest costs in both advanced and emerging economies.
“Global public debt is projected to exceed 100% of GDP by 2029,” Georgieva said in a speech broadcast on the IMF’s official YouTube channel. She warned that rising debt risks inflating interest costs, pushing up rates, limiting spending, and weakening the global governments’ ability to absorb shocks.
The warning comes amid soaring US federal debt, with Washington running persistent deficits despite high interest rates. As of October, it has hit a record $37 trillion, around 125% of GDP, with interest payments now one of the largest federal expenses, exceeding defense spending.
The administration of President Donald Trump has defended the borrowing as vital for growth and domestic programs; critics warn it risks a fiscal crunch. The IMF earlier cautioned that unchecked spending could drive up global borrowing costs and destabilize emerging markets.
Georgieva’s remarks came alongside broader warnings about the global economy, which she said is doing “worse than we need,” noting that deep structural shifts in geopolitics, technology, and demographics have made economic uncertainty “the new normal.”
“Global resilience has not yet been fully tested. And there are worrying signs the test may come,” Georgieva said, pointing to mounting warning signs – including a surge in gold prices, which hit a record $4,000 per ounce on Wednesday, and soaring valuations for US stocks, reminiscent of the dotcom bubble 25 years ago. Georgieva also warned about the impact of Trump’s tariffs, saying their “full effect is still to unfold.”
In its July 2025 Outlook, the IMF projected global growth of 3.0% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, slightly above earlier forecasts. It warned that fiscal strains, trade fragmentation, and inflated asset prices could derail recovery unless governments curb deficits and rebuild buffers. Georgieva said a new update will be released next week.
Oh, wow just in time for agenda 2030. Globalist scumbags.
Who do we owe all the money to?
The Rothchilds who created money out of thin air.
The answer lies in the creation of central banks, compound interest and fractional reserve banking.
Research that and you will find one common trait among the people who invented all that, starting about 280 years ago, and today the reason for the 0.1%
Hmmmm lemme guess…….does it begin with the letter J ?
Would the NZ Parliament pass a sobriety test?
Or for that matter many regional councils
You’d need smelling salts and a cattle prod
The lights are on but nobody is home
We really do have some bad actors across the board
The best finance minister this side of the black stump?
And off course Adrian Orr has parachuted himself off to safety
People in this country continue to keep getting paid off handsomely for screwing the place up
Can we carry on like this – I doubt it?
The problem is most people with any semblance of credibility acumen and decency steer away from and are averted by the abhorrent mechanisms of the political climate
Because once one becomes a politician he/her is destined to become a hypocrite and a liar
Came across this little video which highlights the growing levels of hypocrisy and incompetency sweeping across NZ
Which appears to have manifested and proliferated itself in the toxic lingering after effects of covid and this cuntries coordinated response in lockstep at the behest of the IMF globalist WEF puppet masters marching orders

But for all the bad things happening in NZ it remains the best cuntry in the world and there is no other place I would really rather be
Its just we have a few problems and baggage not measured in bags but a train
This is because the economies are built on grift; the whole landslide of fraud which produces nothing, bar aggressive takeovers and theft which no government will acknowledge because it lacks legal definition. The tech world has us bamboozled as it bridges the gap between the suppressed technologies and the media front which desperately hangs on to the left/right narrative and all the resultant divisions keeping us ignorant and impaled.
While the glistening lights of the newest advertising campaign for our cash and minds (AI) still sparkle, if we looking the dark there lies the gordian knot of impenetrable oppression :

Usury produces debt
The seeds of destruction
Ask Grant Robertson
😂. We must laugh at Dr Evil telling us how concerned they are for the global community. It literally is first class theatre.
Exactly, after all they set the stage, hoarded the gold, have lit the fuse and now waiting for the implosion, then will swoop in and pick up assets for pennies on the $.
Yes and they are doing it via their minions at the councils. Councils have a drafting system when hiring, if you don’t buy into climate change and maori separatism then you don’t get hired. Once in there they pay you exorbitant amounts of money to do the dirty work, play along with the agenda and shut the hell up about anything dodgy.
A clever laundering scheme by a few to rob the masses. Is working well while we sleep. Wake up team, do not comply, we are more than capable of forming healthy communities and thriving
By world public debt, they mean Western debt and that of its neo colonial proxies in other parts of the world. Watch as they devalue like crazy, it wont help anyone but its either that or a another world war, maybe both.
The idiot governments following the US are the worst offenders. I see they are looking to bail out Argentina, which backed away from BRICS and followed the US down the economic rabbit hole, instead…….
The smart money will sell up and move to BRICS nations……
LOL aren’t those criminal set everything in place-made slaves to them? BIS, IMF, ECB and Federal Reserve all have something in common, nothing which serves the normal person on the street.
