Britain’s latest borrowing figures have shocked financial markets, sending U.K. bond yields higher and raising fresh concerns about fiscal sustainability. Is Britain facing a temporary setback—or the early stages of a debt crisis?

We also compare Britain’s challenges with the U.S., Europe, and Japan as governments confront a new era of higher interest rates.
