Economic Factors

9. Political Cycles and Debt Politics
Political agendas and election
promises often lead to increased
spending and borrowing, influenced
by short- term objectives rather than
long- term fiscal health.
Social Welfare Spending
Rising expenditures on healthcare,
pensions, and other welfare programs
necessitate higher borrowing,
especially when revenue collection
does not keep pace.
Political and Social Reasons

10. Increased public debt can drive up interest
rates, raising borrowing costs for
businesses and potentially reducing
investment and growth.
Interest Rate Impacts
To manage high public debt,
※※※ernments may impose higher taxes
on businesses, affecting their profitability
and investment capabilities.

economic activity by creating jobs
and increasing demand for goods
and services.
