What is supermarket debt?

Morrisons' debt hit £7.5 billion last year, a significant amount for any company. This debt often comes from borrowing money for expansion, acquisitions, or day-to-day operations. High debt can put pressure on a company's finances, leading to measures like selling assets or cutting jobs to manage it.
