debt obligations
What borrowers must repay
Debt obligations are financial liabilities requiring repayment—loans, bonds, mortgages, or other borrowed amounts that must be paid back, usually with interest.
The phrase emphasizes the binding nature of these debts: The company struggled to meet its debt obligations.
In legal and financial contexts, obligations highlights that these aren't optional—creditors have enforceable claims.
