NSW will pay more each year in interest on the state's massive debt than it spends on NSW Police and TAFE combined, Premier Chris Minns has revealed.

Mr Minns said the government was on track to record $187 billion worth of debt in the next three years - equal to more than $20,000 per person in NSW - which would cost the state about $7 billion in interest a year.
