With global debt currently at a record high, the International Monetary Fund is launching a database of public and private borrowing across 190 countries – virtually the entire world – dating back to the 1950s.
In April the fund said the global economy was more indebted than before the financial crisis and immediate action needed to be taken before the next downturn. It said worldwide debt now stood at $164tn, equal to 225% of global GDP and up from a previous record of 213% in 2009.

Central banks, which have supported the global economy and encouraged the increase in debt by their cheap borrowing policies, have begun to raise rates, which is likely to start putting pressure on debt-laden consumers and businesses.

Launch of the IMF Global Debt Database
WASHINGTON, D.C.
May 14, 2018
The Institute of International Finance (IIF) was pleased to host the launch of the International Monetary Fund’s Global Debt Database on Monday, May 14 from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm at our Washington D.C. office. The IMF’s Global Debt Database is the first comprehensive dataset covering public and private debt for virtually the entire world (190 countries) dating back to the 1950s. Marialuz Moreno Badia, Deputy Division Chief of the Fiscal Policy Division of the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department will present the GDD; Sonja Gibbs, Senior Director, Global Capital Markets Department at the IIF will follow with an overview of the IIF Global Debt Monitor.
Following the presentations, Tim Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer, IIF moderated a panel discussion of the policy challenges associated with high debt levels. The panel featured Vitor Gaspar, Director of the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department; Kenneth Rogoff, the Thomas D. Cabot Professor at Harvard University; Nathan Sheets, Chief Economist and Head of Global Macroeconomic Research at PGIM; and Hung Tran, Executive Managing Director, IIF.
Almost a decade after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, global debt continues to hit new record highs. With the deleveraging process still incomplete by all accounts and the financial tightening cycle taking off, it is now more important than ever to get a good understanding of who is leveraged and what it means for policymakers. In this context, the panel will focus on prospective deleveraging pressures (in the public and private sector), the appropriate fiscal and monetary policy mix, and how policymakers can limit fiscal risks from excessive private debt during the financial tightening cycle.

Bump...curious where this thread might go..
[ IMF ]
I KNEW Tom Cruise was involved in one form or another!
Was he wearing another one of those rubber masks again?
Go ahead, claim I’m a tinfoiler. It plainly says IMF which we all KNOW is “Impossible Mission Force”.
[Jubilee time?]
[This is in preparation for global financial crisis and reset. This is it.]
In all seriousness, I agree. It will be the only way to “solve” the looming financial time-bomb the world faces.
Will it be done by the Antichrist around the time he “confirms” the 7-year “peace covenant” that divides the land of Israel?
Only time will tell. I AM sure that false peace covenant is coming and a global financial reset seems likely, though I’m having to speculate on the latter.
Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I wish this "Database" got as much attention today!
Originally created by Dubya, and was immediately removed by the Kenyan usurper/fake, in Jan 2009...
Just click on “Learn More,” halfway down

Display is configurable and interactive. Pretty easy to figure out so I won’t explain it.
Hardly academic - IMF & IIF prepare for economic turmoil:
Almost a decade after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, global debt continues to hit new record highs. With the deleveraging process still incomplete by all accounts and the financial tightening cycle taking off, it is now more important than ever to get a good understanding of who is leveraged and what it means for policymakers. In this context, the panel will focus on prospective deleveraging pressures (in the public and private sector), the appropriate fiscal and monetary policy mix, and how policymakers can limit fiscal risks from excessive private debt during the financial tightening cycle.
I was acquainted with people who passed away while hoping for higher interest rates.
