Central banks are navigating a challenging mix of persistent inflation and slowing growth, signaling a structural shift in global monetary policy. Key insights: 1. G7 economies face sticky inflation, limited rate cuts and shifting investor expectations. 2. Only Canada and France have kept inflation below 2%, driven by softer economic conditions. 3. The U.S. and Canada cut rates amid #stagflation, while others wait to gauge #tariff impacts. Businesses should prepare for a prolonged period of higher borrowing costs and evolving trade dynamics. 🔗 Learn more from our Chief Economist Joseph Brusuelas in the latest edition of The Real Economy: https://rsm.us/4p91g30

The rise of debt in G7 economies is more than a headline—it’s a structural shift. Six of the G7 nations are projected to exceed 100% in the debt to gross domestic product ratio this year, a threshold that limits fiscal flexibility during downturns. This surge is driving structural changes: 📈 Long-term interest rates are rising despite central bank rate cuts, signaling investor unease. 🏛️ Fiscal flexibility is shrinking, limiting governments’ ability to respond to future downturns. 🌍 Geopolitical tensions and #stagflation risks are being priced into global debt markets. 🔄 Policy frameworks like yield curve control are under pressure as #inflation normalizes. Japan breached the 100% debt-to-GDP threshold back in 1997 and is expected to reach 235% this year. While it largely finances its debt domestically, it now faces challenges in exiting its yield curve control framework as inflation picks up and rates begin to rise. The broader takeaway? Higher borrowing costs and tighter fiscal space will define the next phase of the global economy. Businesses should prepare for volatility in long-term rates and rethink capital strategies.
