【Approximately $9 trillion of U.S. debt will mature in 2026】The U.S. government has about $9 trillion in debt maturing in 2026, mainly originating from the大量发行的五年期国债 during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. The interest rate on the Treasury bonds issued in 2021 was as low as 0.8%, but by 2026, these bonds will be rolled over at approximately 4.0%. This means the interest costs for these bonds will instantly quadruple. As a result, it is estimated that the interest expenses on U.S. Treasury bonds will exceed $1 trillion for the first time in 2026. To maintain normal government operations, the U.S. Treasury must issue nearly $11 trillion in new bonds in 2026, including $1.7 trillion to cover the deficit, and $9.3 trillion to roll over maturing debt in 2026 and pay the additional interest.
