The Philippine Star
|September 05, 2025
The country's outstanding debt breached the total full-year debt expectation for this year by over P200 billion, amid support for key infrastructure and development initiatives.
Based on the latest data from the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr), the national government's outstanding debt slightly inched up by 1.7 percent to a record high of P17.56 trillion as of end-July from P17.27 trillion as of end-June.
While the increase against the total debt expectation is only 1.21 percent, it is equivalent to P210 billion and is above the full-year assumption of P17.35 trillion.
The said amount is also 11.9 percent higher than the P15.69 trillion recorded in the same period last year.
