Figures from the Debt Management Office show a remarkably high percentage change in debt servicing for the first quarter, 2018.

Increasing debt burdens and debt servicing seem to be exacerbated by the high cost of domestic debt, necessitated by huge domestic borrowings to fund budgets and reflate the economy
