IMF warns G7 borrowing costs hit 20-year high as global debt heads past 100% of GDP

  • —Average 10-year G7 bond yields climbed over 1 percentage point from February to September 2026
  • —Global public debt reached nearly 94% of GDP in 2025 and may top 100% by 2030
  • —Higher yields make government bonds more attractive versus bitcoin and other risk assets
  • —The IMF says bitcoin could draw safe-haven demand if fiscal or currency concerns grow
Why it matters: Costlier borrowing and elevated rates curb the liquidity that fuels crypto risk appetite; investors should watch US bond yields and inflation data.
