The article reveals the concept of institutions in the context of domestic debt, the causal dependence of the public borrowing dynamics on the functional characteristics of the formal institutions that form it. Empirical analysis.

Results. In the course of studying the factors of domestic debt growth, the weaknesses of formal institutions that determine the dynamics of state domestic borrowing in modern conditions were identified.
