Global government debts jumped by over a sixth in 2020 to a record $62.5 trillion
The worldâs governments took on eight yearsâ worth of borrowing in 2020 to fight the global pandemic, increasing their debts by over a sixth (17.4%), according to the first edition of Janus Hendersonâs Sovereign Debt Index. As eight in ten countries in the index slipped into recession, governments added $9.3 1 trillion to their tab. This is equivalent to one seventh (14.8%) of the worldâs GDP 2, a bigger slice than was needed to shore up the economy in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. The worldâs government-debt tally ended the year at a record $62.5 trillion, almost four times its 1995 total (+273%) and equivalent to $13,050 per person 3.
