Maintaining GDP growth targets in the 4-5% range presents a structural challenge: achieving such targets without accelerating debt accumulation appears increasingly difficult. The relationship between growth rates and leverage tends to tighten over economic cycles. As we move forward, the coming years will likely clarify whether this growth-debt tradeoff can be resolved or whether higher targets require accepting elevated leverage as an inevitable cost.

To put it bluntly, wanting a growth rate of 4-5% without increasing leverage is becoming increasingly unrealistic...

Debt for growth, how long can this strategy last? Eventually, the bills will need to be paid.

Basically, it's the deadlock between growth and debt. Want a 4-5% growth rate but don't want to leverage? That's just a dream.

Honestly, the vicious cycle of growth and debt has long been exposed; it's not a new problem anymore.
