The debt crisis represents a serious problem for emerging nations, mainly affecting the poorest countries. This phenomenon poses a threat to the adoption of development policies and limits their capacity to invest in key sectors of sustainable growth.

Debt levels have increased significantly since 2024, with total debt negotiated with private creditors rising by 5.2% compared to 2024, and an increase of 5.2% compared to 2024. Public debt has also risen by 34.6% compared to 2024, reaching $250.6 billion.

The trend of growing debt has been exacerbated by exchange rate pressure, which has led to an increase of 28.2% in public debt, totaling $301.8 billion, mainly due to currency valuation changes. Additionally, public debt has increased by 9.1% compared to 2024, with an increase of 9.1% compared to 2024.

Emerging nations are facing a dilemma: access to global financial markets has improved, but performance is still high, threatening the availability of funds for investing in key sectors of sustainable growth. It is important to manage debts correctly to ensure that all, including future generations, can prosper.

The World Bank has noted an increasing divergence in financing conditions, with debt levels of the poorest countries increasing by 8.1% compared to 2024, while those of the richest have maintained their stable public debt. The poorest countries face an elevated interest rate adjustment, with an average interest rate of 8.2% on new private commitments and an average coupon rate of 9.4% on new public debt issues.

The debt crisis represents a significant problem for emerging nations, but despite this, the wealthiest countries continue to participate in the private borrowing cycle, with a 34.6% increase compared to 2024. This phenomenon could lead to a situation where emerging nations cannot afford to invest in the future.
