Debt pressure is piling up on developing countries and emerging markets from<\/strong> rising trade uncertainty<\/strong>, adding to their woes from high debt levels and sluggish growth, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing the World Bank Chief Economist Indermit Gill.<\/p>\n

About half of the developing countries are now at risk of default or rapidly approaching<\/strong> that point<\/strong>, double the 2024 rate, Gill warned. For emerging markets, net interest payments now account for 12% of their GDP, up from 7% in 2014.<\/p>\n

The situation is even worse in poorer countries<\/strong>, where 20% of their GDP goes to debt services, double the rate a decade ago. This is forcing governments to cut back on vital services like healthcare and education.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The IMF revised its global growth forecast for 2025 to just <\/strong>2.8%<\/a><\/strong>, a 0.5 percentage point cut from its January estimate, warning that further trade tensions would drag growth further down. With decade-high uncertainty indices, global economists expect the World Bank to announce significant cuts to both growth and trade forecasts in June, Gill added.<\/p>\n

Global trade is expected to grow by just 1.5%<\/strong>, a significant decrease from the 8% seen in the 2000s. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment now accounts for only 1% of the developing countries\u2019 GDP, a drop from the 5% seen during more prosperous periods, further hindering emerging markets, according to Gill.<\/p>\n

The way out? <\/strong>Trade agreements with the US would ease the pressure on emerging markets through tariff reductions and their extension to other countries. \u201cDoing so now made sense,\u201d said Gill, highlighting the World Bank\u2019s models that predict a significant boost to growth with such agreements. Unlike other crises, this one is driven by government policies, which could be reversed, he added.<\/p>\n
