We have good governance and transparency and do not lend too quickly, says AfDB

The African Development Bank has rubbished suggestions by World president David Malpass that it and other development banks have a tendency to lend too quickly and in the process add to the continent’s debt crisis.

The continent’s total external debt burden reached nearly $500bn , with Eurobonds more than a fifth of that. He said the AfDB, the Asian Development Bank and official export credit agencies have a tendency to lend too quickly, worsening challenging debt problems in emerging-market countries.
