The debt ceiling refers to the statutory limit set by a government on the amount of debt it can issue. When the debt approaches or reaches this limit, the government must take measures to raise or suspend the ceiling to continue borrowing funds. Failure to address the debt ceiling in a timely manner can have significant implications for the financial markets, potentially leading to increased market volatility and instability.
