The Philippine government’s debt jumped to a new record high of P13.75 trillion in February, according to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) on Thursday, March 30.
The BTr attributed the increase to the “net issuance of domestic securities.”
In January, the outstanding debt was P13.7 trillion.
The BTr said 68.7% of the debt stock was sourced domestically, while 31.3% was sourced externally.
The national government’s domestic debt amounted to P9.44 trillion, or P57.22 billion, or 0.6% higher compared to the end of January.
