国家債務における利払いが低水準

Explanation:
cinefilさんのご指摘通りですが、ここでは the government をキーワードとして考えると、　debt expenses　は　「国債を含む国家債務」とするのが妥当でしょう。debt　を債券とするケースが結構あります。従って、当該テキストは、「国家債務に対する利払いが比較的低水準のため、政府としてもさらに・・・に投資することも可能になっている」といった意味合いでしょう。

用例がありましたので、ご参考のため。
While Democrats may advocate budget surpluses, neither party wants to apply surplus to national debt expenses. If we do not pay down the real debt, our perpetual expense of interest will only increase.　(CF.The 7th paragraph in http://www.namyth.com/2004/?pg=other)
