Currently published data series on the United States household debt service ratio are constructed from aggregate household debt data provided by lenders and estimates of the average interest rate and loan terms of a range of credit products. The approach used to calculate those debt service ratios could be prone to missing changes in loan terms. Better measurement of this important indicator of financial health can help policymakers anticipate and react to crises in household finance. We develop and estimate debt service ratio measures based on individual-level debt payments data obtained from credit bureau data and published estimates of disposable personal income. Our results suggest that aggregate debt service ratios may have understated the payment requirements of households. To the extent possible with two very distinct data sources we examine the details on the composition of household debt service and identify some areas where required payments appear to have varied substantially from the assumptions used in the Board of Governors' aggregate calculation. We then use our technique to calculate both national and state-level debt ratios and break these debt service ratios into debt categories at the national, state level, and metro level. This approach should allow detailed forecasts of debt service ratios based on anticipated changes to interest rates and incomes, which could serve to evaluate the ability of households to cope with potential economic shocks. The ability to disaggregate these estimates into geographic regions or age groups could help to identify the severity of the effects on more exposed groups.

The data is categorized under Global Database’s Egypt – Table EG.World Bank: External Debt: Debt Outstanding, Debt Ratio and Debt Service. Concessional external debt conveys information about the borrower's receipt of aid from official lenders at concessional terms as defined by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD. Concessional debt is defined as loans with an original grant element of 25 percent or more. The grant element of a loan is the grant equivalent expressed as a percentage of the amount committed. It is used as a measure of the overall cost of borrowing. The grant equivalent of a loan is its commitment (present) value, less the discounted present value of its contractual debt service; conventionally, future service payments are discounted at 10 percent. Loans from major regional development banks--African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank--and from the World Bank are classified as concessional according to each institution's classification and not according to the DAC definition, as was the practice in earlier reports. Long-term debt outstanding and disbursed is the total outstanding long-term debt at year end. Long-term external debt is defined as debt that has an original or extended maturity of more than one year and that is owed to nonresidents and repayable in currency, goods, or services.

Loan administration, check cashing and other services endured a volatile landscape amid economic instability, elevated interest rates and sharp swings in core markets. While loan administration services remain a cornerstone to ensure consumers are compliant with repayment terms, considerable volatility amid inflationary spikes altered consumers’ purchasing behaviors. Rising interest rates provided greater revenue growth via higher mortgage and deposit fee revenue streams, although it also harmed individual customers and smaller businesses’ propensity to repay existing mortgages and auto loans. Nonetheless, continuous growth in the national housing market, as exemplified by the 65.2% spike in demand from real estate loans and collateralized debt, provided further boosts toward oversight of mortgages. Steady inclines in national housing prices created more favorable mortgage terms for lenders, bolstering loan service demand. Revenue grew at a CAGR of 1.6% to an estimated $26.8 billion over the past five years, including an anticipated 1.5% boost in 2025 alone. Inclining competition from digital payment services and online money transfer systems has undermined large-scale growth prospects. Check cashing servicers have been particularly harmed by digital proliferation, as prominent platforms such as PayPal, Zelle and Venmo continue to undermine client interest toward the industry. However, the technological pivot is also providing innovative opportunities, particularly among larger banks and loan service administrators looking to minimize dependence on manual labor and bolster profit. Moving forward, the industry is poised to continue growing at a steady pace, albeit mired by competitive threats. Anticipated growth in per capita disposable income and strong consumer confidence will sustain lending activity and demand for loan servicing, as customers will be more willing to take on long-term debts. The potential for interest rate cuts will further incentivize new loan procurement, although this could also harm the industry via reduced returns on mortgage interest and deposit fees. Technological expansion and the prevalent threat of digital payment platforms will remain the biggest barrier to expansive growth, although traditional brick-and-mortar services will remain popular across local markets where client trust will be integral. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% to an estimated $29.6 billion through the end of 2030.
