Including foreign investors. When investors lose their appetite for this debt, yields would rise until they’re high enough to attract new investors. Higher yields mean higher borrowing costs and even bigger deficits for the US government. All eyes have been on foreign investors to see if they start losing their appetite. And some have – especially China and Hong Kong – but others have piled into it.
All foreign investors combined piled on another $198 billion of Treasury securities in February, and $587 billion over the past 12 months, bringing their total holdings to a record $9.49 trillion, according to Treasury Department data today (red line in the chart below).
Of that $9.49 trillion, $7.76 trillion (84%) were long-term Treasury securities (blue), and the rest were short-term Treasury bills.

The US government sold $620 billion of Treasury securities this week, in nine auctions. Of these auction sales, $480 billion were Treasury bills, with maturities from 4 weeks to 52 weeks, most of them to replace maturing T-bills. And $140 billion were 3-year, 10-year, and 30-year Treasury securities.
The Treasury Department reduced the size of three T-bill auctions (4-week, 6-week, 8-week) this week by a total of $55 billion compared to the same week in March and by $65 billion compared to the same week in February, as large amounts of tax receipts are flowing into the government’s checking account in April around Tax Day, including from quarterly estimated taxes for Q1 and from capital gains taxes for 2025.

Pakistan has allowed banks to service licensed crypto firms under a new legal framework, ending a years-long restriction.Banks remain barred from trading or holding crypto, with strict AML, KYC, and fund segregation rules in place.
News - Pakistan has formally reopened its banking system to the crypto sector, reversing a restriction first introduced in 2018. Under new rules issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), banks and regulated entities can now provide services to virtual asset service providers (VASPs) licensed by the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA).
The shift follows the Virtual Assets Act 2026, which establishes a structured framework for licensing, regulation, and oversight of digital asset activity. While banks may open accounts for approved firms, their role is limited to facilitation, with no ability to trade, invest in, or hold crypto assets.
Guardrails define the new framework - The updated rules introduce strict compliance requirements, including enhanced due diligence, ongoing transaction monitoring, and adherence to anti-money laundering and counter-terror financing standards.
Banks must maintain separate, rupee-denominated Client Money Accounts, ensuring customer funds remain segregated and cannot be used for lending, collateral, or operational purposes.
A shift driven by real-world adoption - The policy change reflects a market that continued to grow despite restrictions. Millions of users relied on peer-to-peer platforms and offshore exchanges, pushing activity outside the formal system.
In 2025 alone, Pakistan processed about $25 billion in crypto transactions, highlighting the scale of adoption. The new framework now brings that activity into a regulated environment while supporting future plans around tokenized assets, mining, and potential stablecoin development.

Advanced economies are the largest and most developed economies in the world. Together, they produce goods and services worth around 68.6 trillion US dollars. These countries comprise the United States, the euro area nations, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other industrialized economies.
Among the advanced economies, the United States is by far the biggest economy, with a total GDP of about 30.62 trillion US dollars. This means the U.S. alone accounts for nearly half of all output produced by advanced economies. According to the World Economic Outlook, advanced economies are expected to grow by 1.6 percent in 2025 and again by 1.6 percent in 2026. This shows that advanced economies’ growth is stable but weak. It is well below the levels seen before the pandemic or during earlier economic expansions.
Growth in advanced economies is weak but stable. The growth rate of 1.6 percent in both 2025 and 2026 suggests these economies are avoiding recession, but they are not gaining strong momentum either.The United States remains the growth leader among advanced economies. With growth projected at 2.1 percent in 2026, the U.S. is expected to outperform Europe, Japan, and other developed economies.Growth differences inside advanced economies are large. Some countries, like Spain, are growing relatively fast, while others, such as Germany and Japan, are struggling with much slower growth.
United States
The United States is the world’s largest economy, with a GDP of about 30.62 trillion US dollars. Its economic size gives it a major influence over global demand, trade flows, and financial conditions.
According to the World Economic Outlook, the U.S. economy expanded by 2.0 percent in 2025 and is projected to edge up slightly to 2.1 percent growth in 2026. This makes it the fastest-growing large advanced economy in the outlook.
The United States faces several key economic challenges as it moves into 2026, even though the economy is still growing. One major problem is trade and policy uncertainty. High tariffs and ongoing trade disputes have increased costs for many businesses. This makes imported goods more expensive and disrupts supply chains.
Another challenge is a slowing labor market. Job growth has weakened in 2025, and layoffs have become more common in some sectors. Additionally, the US is also facing the high inflation and government debt. Although inflation has come down from its earlier highs, prices are still rising faster than long-term targets.
Euro Area
The euro area, which includes countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, continues to face slow growth. According to the World Economic Outlook, the euro area is projected to grow by 1.1 percent in 2026, lower than the United States and well below historical averages.
Several challenges hold back the euro area. Energy costs remain one of the biggest challenges in Europe. Industrial production is weak in some countries. In addition, many euro area countries face aging populations and slow productivity growth. These issues limit the region’s ability to expand at a higher rate.
Despite these challenges, growth within the euro area is not uniform. Some countries are performing better than others, which reflects differences in labor markets, domestic demand, and economic structure.
Highest and Lowest Performers in Europe
Among major European economies, Spain is projected to grow at a higher rate. It is projected to grow by 2.0 percent in 2026, well above the euro area average. Strong tourism and improved labor market conditions play a key role in Spain’s growth outlook.
On the other hand, Germany is projected to grow at the lowest rate in Europe. Although growth is expected to improve to 0.9 percent in 2026, this remains low for Europe’s largest economy and the global third-largest economy.
Japan
Japan is the fourth-largest advanced economy, with a GDP of about 4.28 trillion US dollars. Despite its size, Japan is projected to be the worst-performing advanced economy in 2026, with growth of just 0.6 percent.
Japan is facing the biggest challenge in its history, which is demographics. The country has one of the oldest populations in the world and a very low fertility rate. Each year, the population shrinks as deaths far exceed births. This reduces the workforce and limits the long-term growth potential of the country.
Additionally, Japan is facing weak domestic demand and limited productivity growth. While inflation has recently increased, wages have not risen fast enough to support consumer spending. The country is also one of the world’s largest debtors, with its debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 230 percent.

Saudi Arabia produces well over 10 million barrels a day, the largest oil supplier in Middle East.Iraq and Iran together produce over 7 million barrels per day, even with political issues and sanctions.The United Arab Emirates not only boosted its oil production capabilities but also invested in renewable energy initiatives to diversify its economy.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia isn’t only the largest oil producer in the Middle East—it’s one of the largest globally. In 2024, it produced more than 510 million tonnes oil, which accounts for over a third of the region’s total production.
The nation’s oil company, Saudi Aramco, is the world’s largest oil producer and one of the world’s most valuable companies. Saudi Arabia also plays a key role in OPEC+ by adjusting production levels to impact global oil prices.
Aside from oil, Saudi Arabia is attempting to diversify its economy away from fossil fuels in its Vision 2030 program, including major investments in renewable energy and technology. However, oil is still the mainstay of its economy.
Iraq
Iraq is the Middle East’s third-largest producer of oil, at approximately 216 million tonnes in 2024. Iraq possesses vast oil deposits in the south central Basra province, and has consistently upped its oil production over the past few years.
Iraq also has several challenges like political unrest, corruption, and aging facilities. These issues have regularly slowed down its oil production. Notwithstanding these problems, the international oil companies continue to operate in the country, which enables Iraq to have competitive oil production levels in the region.
Oil provides over 90% of Iraq’s government revenue and is the mainstay of the country’s economy. The country is sensitive to fluctuations in the global oil market due to its reliance on oil.
Iran
Iran has some of the world’s largest known oil reserves. In 2024, it produced around 234 million tonnes oil. Nevertheless, American and international sanctions have hindered the country’s ability to sell its oil freely on global markets.
Despite the sanctions, Iran still manages to find customers, especially in Asia, where nations such as China import large quantities of Iranian crude.
Oil is the backbone of Iran’s economy, although sanctions have made it necessary for the country to depend more on other sectors like petrochemicals. However, crude oil is still at the core of Iran’s government income.
United Arab Emirates
The UAE, especially the emirate of Abu Dhabi, has been one of the most reliable oil producers in the Middle East. In 2024, it produced approximately 180 million tonnes of oil.
The nation continues to spend lucratively in its oil sector and renewable energy in the Middle East. Initiatives like the Masdar City solar project and investments in hydrogen technology indicate the UAE’s strategy to get ready for an oil-free future. The UAE is also a major OPEC member and a valuable partner to international energy security.
Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman
Though smaller than Iran and Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman are major middle eastern oil producers.
Kuwait produced around 131 million tonnes of oil in 2024, the majority of which originate from a few giant fields. More than 50% of its GDP consists of oil revenues.
Qatar produced 75 million tonnes of oil and is more renowned for natural gas exports since it is the globe’s largest LNG exporter.
Conclusion
The Middle East is still the corner store of the world oil business. It produced more than 1,407 million tonnes of oil in 2024 and provides a vast portion of the world’s energy supply. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and the UAE lead in oil production, but Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman are also significant producers in the middle east oil market.

The Fed disclosed in its audited annual financial report today that its results in 2025 were less atrocious than in 2024, which had been less atrocious than peak-atrociousness in 2023 when the hangover from its prior monetary policies of ultra-low interest rates and QE had set in.
This is the consolidated report of the Federal Reserve System consisting of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors – a self-funded federal agency whose governors and chair are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate – and the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, such as the New York Fed, the San Francisco Fed, the Boston Fed, the Dallas Fed, etc., which are private companies whose shares are held by the largest financial institutions in their districts. The financial report was audited by KPMG.
Today, the Fed disclosed two types of losses:

America has the largest national debt in the world, which has surpassed $39 trillion. Out of this debt, 80% belongs to the public sector, which includes investors, banks, and countries. The remaining 20% of the debt is referred to as intragovernmental debt. This is the debt owed by the government to itself.
The interesting fact about the American government borrowing money is that it does not borrow like an ordinary person or business. Instead, it has an organized system.
But how does the U.S. government actually borrow trillions of dollars every year—and who is lending all this money?
In this guide, we’ll break it down in the simplest way possible.
What It Means When the U.S. Government Borrows Money
The U.S. government spends money every year on various things like defense, health, infrastructure, and social services. However, every year, the government spends more than it collects through taxes and other sources. This is called the budget deficit.
To make up for this deficit, the government needs to collect more money. Rather than reducing expenditure or increasing taxes, the government adopts a different approach. It borrows money to make up the deficit.
When the U.S. government borrows money, it does not go to a single lender. Instead, it reaches out to millions of investors around the world. In simple terms, the government is saying: “If you lend us money today, we promise to pay you back later, along with some extra money as interest.”
This promise is turned into a financial product called a Treasury security. These securities are issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, which manages the country’s finances. Investors who buy these securities are essentially lending money to the government.
How Treasury Auctions Actually Work
The U.S. government does not randomly sell its debt. It uses a structured and transparent system known as a Treasury auction.
First, the Treasury announces how much money it wants to borrow and what type of security it will issue. This could be a short-term bill or a long-term bond. Then, investors place bids. These investors include large banks, investment funds, and even foreign governments. Some investors are large and actively compete, while others simply accept the market rate.
Once all bids are collected, the auction determines the interest rate. This rate is based on demand. If many investors want the security, the interest rate tends to be lower. If demand is weak, the government has to offer a higher return. After the auction ends, the securities are issued, and the government receives the money.
Understanding the Main Types of U.S. Debt Instruments
The U.S. government mainly uses three types of borrowing instruments. Each one is designed for a different time period.
1. Treasury Bills (T-Bills): Short-Term Borrowing
Treasury bills are used when the government wants to borrow money for a short time, i.e., less than a year. These are slightly different from other securities because they do not pay interest on a regular basis. Instead, they are issued at a discounted price and redeemed at face value when they mature.
For instance, the government might accept $900 today and pay back $1000 in a few months. The difference represents the profit earned by the investor. This makes Treasury bills simple and low-risk instruments.
2. Treasury Notes (T-Notes): Medium Term Borrowing
Treasury notes are used for medium-term borrowing, i.e., borrowing money for a period ranging from two to ten years. Unlike Treasury bills, Treasury notes pay interest every six months. This makes them attractive to investors seeking to earn a regular income.
A 10-year Treasury note is one of the most important financial instruments in the world. It is a benchmark for the interest rate in the global economy.
3. Treasury Bonds (T-Bonds): Long-Term Borrowing
Treasury bonds are long-term borrowing instruments used by the U.S. government to borrow money. They are usually issued for twenty to thirty years. The interest rate on these bonds is paid every six months, and the rate is fixed over a very long period.
Because the rate is fixed, investors know exactly how much income they will receive over time. This makes Treasury bonds a stable and predictable investment. At the end of the bond’s term, the government repays the full original amount, known as the principal.
Why Different Types of Debt Are Important
The government does not rely on just one type of borrowing. It uses a mix of short-term and long-term debt. Short-term debt helps manage immediate cash needs. Long-term debt helps lock in borrowing costs for the future. This balance is important. If the government relies too much on short-term borrowing, it may face higher risks when interest rates rise. If it relies too much on long-term debt, it may end up paying more interest over time.
Who Is Lending Money to the U.S. Government
The U.S. government borrows money from various investors, both domestically and globally. These investors include American banks, mutual funds, pension funds, and other financial institutions. The Federal Reserve is also holding a large portion of U.S. government debt.
Currently, the total U.S. government debt is over $39 trillion. Out of this, 80% is referred to as public debt, meaning it is the amount borrowed from investors. The remaining 20% is referred to as intragovernmental debt, which is the amount borrowed from its own agencies.
1. Public Debt
More than two-thirds of public debt is held by domestic investors. The largest portion of this is held by mutual funds, pension funds, and the Federal Reserve System. On the international side, countries such as Japan, the U.K., and China are among the largest holders of U.S. debt. However, China’s share has been decreasing over time.
Individual investors can also participate by buying Treasury securities directly.
2. Intragovernmental Debt
Intragovernmental debt is different from public debt because it represents money the government owes to itself. It is essentially a transfer from one part of the government to another.
Most of this debt comes from federal trust funds, such as Social Security and Medicare. These funds collect money through taxes and invest the surplus in U.S. Treasury securities. In return, the government uses this money for other spending needs, while keeping a record of what it owes to these programs.
Why U.S. Government Debt Is Trusted Worldwide
U.S. Treasury securities are considered to be one of the safest investment instruments in the world. These securities are backed by the U.S. government, and the government has a long history of honoring its debt obligations.
Secondly, the U.S. government has the privilege of borrowing money at low interest rates due to the demand and usage of the U.S. dollar worldwide. Since the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, the demand is always high. Currently, Japan holds the largest amount of U.S. debt in the form of treasury securities.
Rising Debt and Future Challenges
Although Debt helps the government manage its finances, it has its own disadvantages. As the debt rises, it increases the expenditure for interest payments. This, in turn, can become a burden for the federal budget.

The United States continues to hold the largest national debt in the world, which has surpassed $38 trillion. A major portion of this debt is funded through U.S. Treasury securities, which are bought by foreign governments and investors. Among the largest US Treasury holders, Japan leads the list, followed by the United Kingdom and China. Japan remains the largest holder of U.S. Treasuries with $1.18 trillion, up from $1.095 trillion a year earlier. Additionally, China’s treasury holdings remain at $700 billion, compared to $772 billion one year ago.
The United Kingdom is steadily increasing its US Treasury holdings and currently holds $865 billion, which is about 13% higher than the $769 billion it held a year ago. The top five countries together hold about $3.69 trillion in US Treasury securities. Among them, only China reduced its holdings compared to last year, while the other four countries increased theirs.
The top 15 largest US Treasury holders collectively own approximately $6.7 trillion in U.S. securities in 2025.Japan remains the top holder, with $1.18 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom and China.Treasury securities are the primary way the U.S. government borrows from foreign countries and investors to finance its debt.
Top Foreign Holders of U.S. Treasury Securities
Japan
Japan holds the massive $1.18 trillion in US treasury assets, which ranks it at the top spot among the largest US Treasury holders. The country’s holdings of U.S. Treasuries increased by about 8.6%, rising from $1.095 trillion in September 2024 to $1.189 trillion in September 2025. Therefore, Japan still maintains the top position globally. Japan’s central bank and institutional investors purchase the U.S. reasuries to help manage the exchange rate and maintain stable foreign reserves.
United Kingdom
The UK is a major global investor and holds a massive $865 billion of US treasury securities. This marks an increase from $769 billion in the previous year. The country is continuously increasing its U.S. Treasury securities. Additionally, the UK’s position among the largest US Treasury holders shows its stable financial system and strategic investments in U.S. markets.
🇨🇳 China
China is the third-largest holder of US treasuries after Japan and the United Kingdom. The country holds $700 billion in US Treasuries in 2025, which is a slight decrease of 9.2% from $772 billion a year earlier. U.S.–China relations have remained strained amid ongoing trade tensions and economic rivalry. Recently, the U.S. has imposed tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, while China responded with 125% tariffs on American goods. These rising trade tensions may influence how China manages its U.S. bond holdings in the future.

China has already been reducing its U.S. Treasury holdings over the years. From a peak of around $1.3 trillion in 2013, its US treasury bond holdings have declined to approximately $700 billion in 2025.
🇰🇾 Cayman Islands
With $426 billion in holdings, the Cayman Islands is the fourth largest holder of U.S. Treasury securities. It is a major offshore financial center located in the western Caribbean Sea. This major holding is largely due to hedge funds and private financial institutions operating through Cayman-based structures. Additionally, the country’s holdings have slightly increased from $424 billion a year ago to $426 billion in 2025.
🇧🇪 Belgium
Belgium holds $466 billion in U.S. Treasury securities in 2025, which is a 27% increase from $366 billion in 2024. This is a big increase, which shows that Belgium has added more to its US debt holdings in just one year. One reason for this massive rise is that the US Treasuries are seen as a safe and stable investment, especially during uncertain times.

🇱🇺 Luxembourg
Luxembourg is a major European financial hub, with around 25% of its GDP coming from the financial sector. The country holds the fifth largest $421 billion in U.S. Treasuries, up from $407 billion in 2024. Luxembourg is also among the wealthiest nations in the world due to its GDP per capita, which currently ranks as the highest globally. Additionally, it is home to over 120 international banks and numerous investment funds.
Several other countries also hold significant amounts of U.S. Treasury securities, including Canada, Belgium, France, and Ireland. Canada holds $475 billion, which reflects its strong economic ties with the United States.
Ireland stands at $340 billion, while Taiwan and Switzerland hold $312 billion and $302 billion, respectively. Hong Kong and Singapore follow closely with $238 billion and $259 billion, respectively. Even India and Brazil, two growing economies, maintain massive holdings of U.S. securities at $202 billion and $172 billion, respectively.
Conclusion
Collectively the top 15 countries hold a combined approximately $6.7 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities in 2025. Japan alone holds more than $1 trillion of US treasury bonds, followed by the United Kingdom and China. The U.S. uses these securities as a way to borrow money to finance its national debt. By selling Treasury bonds to foreign countries and investors, the government raises funds to cover budget deficits and finance various public projects.

In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. government’s finances show a massive gap between income and spending. The government collected about $5.23 trillion in revenue, but total spending reached $7.01 trillion. This resulted in a budget deficit of $1.78 trillion.
In fiscal year 2025, the large deficit was mainly driven by a few key factors.
One of the primary reasons is the rising mandatory spending, particularly on programs such as Social Security and Medicare. These programs continue to grow as more people retire and healthcare costs continue to rise.
Another major factor is soaring interest costs. Interest payments on the national debt exceeded $1.2 trillion in FY 2025, making it one of the largest government expenses. This is about $100 billion higher than the previous year.
At the same time, a large portion of government debt is being refinanced at higher interest rates, which increases borrowing costs even further.

Although government revenue increased by around 6% in 2025, it was still not enough to match spending. Overall, the government spent about $1.34 for every $1 it earned, creating a large gap.

In 2025, the U.S. budget deficit stood at $1.78 trillion, showing that large deficits are still a major part of government finances.A deficit appears when the government spends more money than it collects in taxes and revenue during a year.The main causes of the deficit include rising mandatory spending, growing interest costs, and a gap between revenue and total spending.
According to the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. government ran a $1.78 trillion deficit in 2025. This is not an isolated case. Over the past 25 years, fiscal deficits have remained high, with sharp spikes during crises and elevated levels even in normal years.
A budget deficit happens when the government spends more money than it collects in revenue. While deficits are common, the size and persistence of recent deficits are what make the current situation different.
The U.S. budget deficit is no longer a temporary phenomenon. It has become a structural part of the U.S. economy. The continued deficits every year are responsible for rising debt, higher interest costs, and increasing pressure on future government budgets.
A budget is a financial plan that shows how much money the government expects to earn and how much it plans to spend in a year. In simple terms, it is the difference between money going out and money coming in.
A budget deficit happens when government spending is higher than its revenue. This means the government needs to borrow money to cover the gap. In 2025, the U.S. government spent much more than it collected. The extra $1.78 trillion had to be borrowed. This is known as deficit spending.
A budget surplus is the opposite situation. It occurs when the government collects more money than it spends. This extra money can be used to reduce debt or saved for the future. However, this is very rare in the United States. The country has only recorded a few surpluses in the past 50 years, with the last one in 2001.

U.S. Treasury securities are used by the government to borrow money.They range from short-term to long-term investments with varying terms and features.Some U.S. Treasury securities offer fixed returns, while others adjust with inflation or interest rates.
Main Types of U.S. Treasury Securities
1. Treasury Bills (T-Bills)
Treasury Bills represent short-term Treasury securities with maturity periods of one year or less.
They do not produce any regular interest payments. The Treasury issues bills at a discounted price and redeems them in full when they mature.
These instruments offer the highest safety and liquidity for investment purposes. They also serve as a key benchmark for short-term interest rates in the economy.
2. Treasury Notes (T-Notes)
Treasury Notes refer to Treasury securities with maturities ranging from 2 to 10 years. They pay interest every six months at a fixed rate, which makes them ideal investments for income-seeking individuals.
The 10-year Treasury note is one of the key economic indicators globally. It affects the mortgage and borrowing costs of companies and shapes the general market environment. This makes Treasury Notes critical in government finance and the international market.        
3. Treasury Bonds (T-Bonds)
Treasury Bonds are long-term securities issued by the government, which are repayable after 20 or 30 years.
They earn interest every six months in fixed amounts. The government mainly uses Treasury securities for long-term borrowing. Such bonds are highly sensitive to changes in both the price level and interest rates.

They earn interest every six months in fixed amounts. The government mainly uses Treasury securities for long-term borrowing. Such bonds are highly sensitive to changes in both the price level and interest rates.
They are mostly preferred by pension funds and insurance companies due to the stability of their rates of return.
4. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)
TIPS are Treasury securities, which are designed to ensure their investors’ protection against inflation. If inflation goes up, the value of TIPS increases; conversely, if inflation goes down, it decreases. Interest is paid in accordance with its adjusted nominal value.
In other words, investors’ return on investment remains unchanged even if the price level goes up. TIPS are widely applied during periods of increasing prices on goods and services.
5. Floating Rate Notes (FRNs)
Floating Rate Notes are Treasury securities with adjustable rates of return on investment. Their rates are linked to short-term Treasury bill rates, which means returns adjust as market interest rates change.
In other words, as soon as interest rates go up, Floating Rate Notes become more profitable. They are mostly used by institutions with high-interest-rate risk management needs.
6. Savings Bonds
Saving bonds are Treasury bonds that are not marketed and are designed to be purchased by individuals. They are straightforward, secure investments intended for long-term holding.
Savings bonds either pay a fixed rate of return or a floating rate based on changes in the price index. Thus, they are appropriate for personal purposes like financing higher education.
U.S. Treasury Securities (% of Total Marketable Debt)
Treasury notes represent the biggest percentage of marketable debt held by the federal government at about 52 percent, yet the percentage has been decreasing. Additionally, treasury bills have a share of 22 percent, which indicates that they are the most popular U.S. debt instrument after treasury notes. Treasury bonds, TIPS, and Floating Rate Notes hold a percentage of 17 percent, 7 percent, and 2 percent, respectively.
