Global debt hit a record high of over $250 trillion, led by a surge in borrowings in U.S. and China, according to a new report.

Global debt hit a record high of over $250 trillion in the first half of this year, led by a surge in borrowings in the U.S. and China, according to a new report.

Record-low interest rates make it extremely easy for corporates and sovereigns to borrow more money.
"If you look at today's economy, there's nothing that's really booming now that would want to bust," Powell said in testimony before the House Budget Committee. "In other words, it's a pretty sustainable picture."
