💨 Abstract

The World Bank report reveals that the 26 poorest countries, home to 40% of the most poverty-stricken people, are more indebted than in 2006, with average debt-to-GDP ratio at an 18-year high. These economies have worsened since the onset of COVID-19 and are increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters and shocks.
