The World Bank on Monday said governments around the world responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with massive fiscal, monetary, and financial stimulus

While the measures were aimed at addressing the outbreak, cushioning the impact on the poor and putting nations on a path to recovery, the resulting debt burden of low-income countries rose to a record $860billion.

The new International Debt Statistics 2022 report said an encompassing approach to managing debt is needed to help low- and middle-income countries assess and curtail risks and achieve sustainable debt levels. In 2020, net inflows from multilateral creditors to low- and middle-income countries rose to $117 billion, the highest level in a decade.
