If Every Country Is In Debt… Who's The Money Owed To?

Almost every country on Earth is in debt — but that raises a question few people ever stop to ask: if everyone owes money… who is it actually owed to? This video breaks down the global debt system in a clear, simple way. You’ll learn how governments borrow money, who the real creditors are, and how debt flows between countries, banks, institutions, and investors. From domestic bondholders to foreign governments, central banks, and organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the answers are more complex — and more surprising — than they seem. We also explore how countries can be both deeply in debt and major lenders at the same time, why debt never really disappears, and what happens when governments can’t pay. This isn’t about conspiracy — it’s about understanding how the modern financial system actually works. Watch till the end to see why global debt is less about “owing someone money” — and more about how power, trust, and money circulate through the world. 📺 Watch the entire video for more information! 💼 Business Inquiries and Contact • For business inquiries, copyright matters or other inquiries please contact us ❓ Copyright Questions • If you have any copyright questions or issues you can contact us. ⚠️ Copyright Disclaimers • We use images and content in accordance with the YouTube Fair Use copyright guidelines • Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act states: “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” • This video could contain certain copyrighted video clips, pictures, or photographs that were not specifically authorized to be used by the copyright holder(s), but which we believe in good faith are protected by federal law and the fair use doctrine for one or more of the reasons noted above.
