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.

TR-3B USAF experimental anti-gravity craft. Proofs

It does not exist officially. It uses highly pressured mercury accelerated by nuclear energy to produce a plasma that creates a field of anti-gravity around the ship. Conventional thrusters located at the tips of the craft allow it to perform all manner of rapid high speed maneuvers along all three axes. Interestingly, the plasma generated also reduces radar signature significantly. So it is almost invisible on radar & remain undetected. This literally means that it can go to any country it likes without being detected by air traffic control & air defence systems.
Alien conspiracy theorists, who also believe world leaders capture flying saucers and reverse engineer them before creating their own hi-tech space craft, claim a mysterious US Air Force TR-3B may have been filmed flying over Enfield, north London.

Zimbabwe will introduce gold coins

The Monetary Policy Committee resolved to introduce gold coins into the market as an instrument that will enable investors to store value.
The gold coins will be minted by Fidelity Gold Refineries (Private) Limited and will be sold to the public through normal banking channels.
Also, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), announced the review of interest rates and statutory reserves.
