Private sector debt includes the stock of liabilities, debt securities and loans, held by non-financial corporations, households and non-profit institutions serving households. Between 1995 and 2018, the value of non-consolidated debt of the private sector in the United Kingdom (UK) increased steadily, reaching its highest value of nearly 3.5 trillion British pounds in 2018. In 2019, this figure decreased slightly. Indebtedness is correlated with rising income levels since borrowing allows an increase in consumption and investment. Nevertheless, overborrowing exposes businesses to risk of changes in economic conditions, interest rates and inflation.
