U.S. Consumer Debt Hits $17.1 Trillion

24.07.08 News

Consumer debt in the United States has continued to rise, reaching $17.1 trillion in 2023, up from $16.38 trillion in 2022, according to an Experian study. This trend persists across all regions and generations, despite a brief decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, experts like Joseph Mayans from Experian suggest that when adjusted for recent rapid income growth, overall debt loads remain below pre-pandemic levels and are historically low. While the growth rate of consumer debt slowed in 2023, it still indicates an ongoing pattern of increased borrowing among Americans, with credit card debt being a particular area of concern for some analysts.
