The global public debt is expected to skyrocket by $10.7 trillion and reach $62.7 trillion by the end of 2016. The recession, which has been ongoing since the 2008 global financial crisis continues to be a problem in many countries. This situation pushed central banks to unorthodox methods in their monetary policies on one hand, and on the other, reforms that support domestic consumption and investments.The central banks of developed countries launched monetary expansion policies and switched to negative interest rate policies. The recession's effects on China's exports led the fastest-growing developing nation to amend its model and increase its domestic consumption to maintain economic growth.The decline in global demand also led to volatility in commodity prices and the currencies of developing countries. Additionally, reforms, which were implemented in many developing countries to support the rise of domestic consumption and investments, caused a boom in public debt.According to data Anadolu Agency (AA) compiled from International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, global gross public debt will reach $62.7 trillion and the gross world product (GWP) will reach $74.52 trillion by the end of 2016.

The IMF's financial surveillance report for October 2016 revealed that global public debt stood at $52 trillion at the end of 2015, corresponding to 85 percent of the GWP. This means global public debt will soar by $10.7 trillion this year.The IMF's projections for 181 countries reveal that the public debt of 11 countries will exceed $1 trillion at the end of 2016. The U.S. tops the list of public debt with $20.1 trillion, followed by Japan, China and Italy with $11.8 trillion, $5.3 trillion and $ 2.5 trillion respectively.
