Public debt to hit record high

With an estimated economic growth rate of 7%, the debt may hit a record high of 64.8% this year. The government, along with the Ministry of Finance, has set up a debt management program to keep the public debt ratio below 65% until 2018.

The plan also aims to keep the allocation and use of loans in line with their original purposes, keep debt indexes at safe levels, and ensure debt repayment capacity.
