If you think the current outlook is bad, just wait until the White House can’t find anyone to buy its debt, warns Ray Dalio​

  • Ray Dalio warns the U.S. faces an imminent debt crisis as its debt-to-GDP ratio climbs past 122%, with experts worried foreign buyers will pull back or raise interest payments, making borrowing unsustainable. He suggests drastic measures may be needed, including debt restructuring, political pressure on buyers, and potentially cutting payments to certain countries.
While Wall Street might be battening down the hatches against Trump’s tariff rhetoric and nervously eyeing foreign relations, the fundamentals of the economy are still looking relatively good.


GDP over the past couple of quarters has been steadily ticking upwards, while inflation and unemployment are similarly stable.

Japan national debt to GDP
Japan's asset price bubble collapse in 1991 led to a prolonged period of economic stagnation described as the 'Lost Decades', with GDP falling significantly. In response, the Bank of Japan set out in the early 2000s to encourage economic growth By 2013, Japanese public debt exceeded one quadrillion yen (US$10.46 trillion), which was about twice the country's annual gross domestic productat that time, and already the largest debt ratio of any nation.

Last month, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) released the aggregate finance data for December 2024. Also known as total social financing (TSF), this is a broad measure of credit and liquidity in the economy that includes off-balance sheet forms of financing such as initial public offerings, loans from trust companies, and bond sales. It is the PBoC’s preferred measure of total non-financial debt in the Chinese economy. Although a growing amount of debt is not captured in the TSF data (for example, late payments to businesses and workers by local governments caught in a cash squeeze), most analysts use TSF as a reasonable proxy for the evolution of Chinese debt.
At the end of 2024, outstanding TSF was 408.3 trillion RMB, up 8.3 percent from the end of 2023. With China’s GDP in 2024 closing at 134.9 trillion RMB, up 4.2 percent nominally in 2024, outstanding TSF was equal to 303 percent of China’s 2024 GDP, versus 292 percent of GDP at the end of 2023. This 10-11 percentage-point increase in China’s debt-to-GDP ratio compares to the 8.5 average percentage-point increase over the past eight years.[1]

Singapore's Debt-to-GDP Ratio​

DEBT TO GDP RATIO (PERCENTAGE)




The debt-to-GDP ratio is the ratio between a country's government debt and its gross domestic product (GDP).

World Economics has upgraded each country's GDP presenting it in Purchasing Power Parity terms with added estimates for the size of the informal economy and adjustments for out-of-date GDP base yeardata. Using the World Economics GDP Database it is possible to see more realistic debt levels for each country.

Singapore's is officially reported as having a debt-to-GDP ratio of 175% by the IMF.

Using the World Economics GDP database, Singapore's GDP would be $836 billion - 11% larger than official estimates, Singapore's debt ratio would be smaller at 158.3%

Singapore's data is highlighted in the table below, use the filter and sort order options to allow easy comparison with other countries.

On Valentine’s Day evening, more than a hundred people packed into a Singapore condominium showroom to learn about how to make quick profits from flipping homes in the city-state.

“If you want to be rich, you just buy property!” proclaimed Eric Chiew, a social media influencer who runs a small real estate investment consultancy. The audience, which included millennial couples with kids in tow and middle-aged locals wearing flip-flops, listened as Chiew mapped out how to make a windfall from buying and selling homes— sometimes without even having to move in.
