Part 14/17:

Looking forward 10-20 years, several factors threaten to fuel existing debt levels:

• Increasing social security and healthcare costs due to aging populations.

• Ongoing infrastructure needs—from transport to digital systems.

• The geopolitical arms race, requiring higher defense and technological spending.

• Rising interest rates globally, adding to debt servicing costs.

Meanwhile, economic growth may be hindered by a slowdown in productivity, subdued by debt burdens and demographic shifts.

Potential Solutions and Strategies

• Economic growth remains the most effective way to stabilize debt ratios, but this is uncertain amid current global conditions.
