This article emphasizes on the impact of interest rate changes on government debt. For this purpose, theoretical and empirical studies are initially systematized with the main focus being placed on the change of government debt in terms of continuously decreasing interest rates. The main trends in the change of government debt, interest payments, the real GDP growth rates and the interest rates for long-term government bonds in Bulgaria are also analyzed. The econometric analysis of the relationship between interest rates and government debt is applied including tests for long and short run causal relationship among variables. When comparing the results obtained for the degree of impact of interest rates and economic growth on debt, it is concluded that interest rates have a statistically significant but weak effect on government debt. There is much stronger (positive and statistically significant) effect of economic growth on debt, as opposed to the effect of interest rates.

The capital market in Bulgaria is not a working one and is not useful for the national economy. Despite the regulatory framework that meets the highest global standards, companies are unable to gather new capital and investors do not have access to quality Bulgarian financial assets. Securitization is presented only through the isolated segment of real estate investment trusts. The banking market is wide but concentrated in ownership and far from modern banking, and full integration with the European financial market remains unclear.
These weaknesses are result of ineffective government intervention, constitute a regulatory failure and have consequences - a capital market that fails to generate adequate investment opportunities for Bulgarian capital and to finance high value-added projects, bank concentration with all the negatives on depositors, borrowers and investors, unfulfilled financial integration with effects on the entire national financial system and ultimately, the colossal loss of national income.
