Avertisment ONU: Țările în curs de dezvoltare, sufocate de costul datoriei

The UNCTAD report highlights the alarming rise in public debt costs in developing countries, which hampers essential development priorities like health and education. Public debt has surged to $111 trillion in 2025, with developing nations facing higher borrowing costs compared to developed ones. Interest payments on public debt in these countries are projected to reach nearly $1 trillion by 2025, surpassing public spending on health and education in many cases. UNCTAD recommends reducing borrowing cost disparities and increasing development assistance to alleviate the financial burden on these nations. The analysis precedes a UNCTAD meeting in Bangkok aimed at addressing these issues.
