I see a healthier starting point for future choices, not a reason to postpone necessary work.
I count long-term debt, not every liability. I would still weigh borrowing against the cost of waiting.
My sources & exact numbers +
I use the published five-year debt series and the audited 2025 balance of $7,112,041. I note a $1 difference in the statistical table. I calculate the headline from 2022 to 2025 and distinguish balances from annual repayments. I do not infer infrastructure condition or service quality from lower debt alone.
I checked these sources on 8 September 2026. I am showing dated public records, not a live feed.
