The World Bank reports that the external debt of developing countries reached a record high of $9.4 trillion in 2025, marking a 5.5% increase from the previous year. This is the fastest pace since 2021, driven largely by private sector borrowing. The poorest countries face the highest interest rates since the late 1980s, with debt service costs threatening essential investments.
