UN Urges Debt Relief for Developing Nations

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warns that the debt crisis in developing nations has reached unprecedented levels, with debt servicing consuming an increasing share of national revenues at the expense of development.
A new policy brief, released ahead of the G20 finance ministers meeting in Cape Town, highlights that 56 developing countries now spend over 10% of their revenue on interest payments, with 17 exceeding 20%, heightening default risks.
Total external public debt for the 31 poorest nations at risk of debt distress is estimated at $205 billion, while global debt servicing reached a record $1.4 trillion in 2023.
UNDP urges immediate reforms, including a more effective debt restructuring framework, systemic relief initiatives, and reduced borrowing costs to prevent a lost decade of development.
The upcoming Financing for Development conference in June will be a key platform for addressing these urgent issues.
