Geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and an uncertain macroeconomic environment are adding pressure to already stretched markets. But debt markets have been resilient so far. This stability, however, masks deeper structural developments. The cost of long-term borrowing has risen, and the resulting shift in issuance towards shorter maturities increases refinancing risks. The growing role of more price-sensitive investors may also make debt markets more vulnerable to shocks. Their future resilience is therefore not guaranteed. This is particularly important as the scaling of AI and growing defence spending are expected to further increase borrowing from the markets. These challenges must be carefully managed to ensure that sovereign and corporate bond markets, with a combined size of USD 109 trillion, continue to provide stable financing to governments and corporations. The 2026 Global Debt Report aims to support efforts to sustain the resilience of debt markets. Source: oecd.org |
