Quick Glance: Why G20 'Common Framework' for Debt Relief Is Ineffective for Poor Nations
- Over half of the world's low-income countries face high debt distress or default, despite the 2020 agreement among the 20 largest economies for easier loan restructuring. Progress in actual relief has been slow, partly due to disagreements between wealthy nations and China as a major creditor.
- By the end of 2022, the poorest countries collectively owed their creditors approximately $1.1 trillion, surpassing the 2012 debt level. The financial strain from the Covid-19 crisis forced heavily indebted governments to allocate funds they lacked to fortify healthcare systems and assist citizens.
- Major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, raised interest rates to counter inflationary pressures arising from escalating grain and fuel prices following the Ukraine conflict. The resulting appreciation of the dollar exacerbated the situation for international borrowers.
- In March, Zambia successfully concluded negotiations for $3 billion in eurobonds after three years, illustrating some progress but highlighting the arduous nature of the process. Notably, several countries, including Zambia, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Lebanon, and Argentina, are grappling with defaults or severe debt distress.
