Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The crisis is characterized as a 'debt tsunami' threatening the Global South, where high borrowing costs are squeezing economies. This situation stems from the post-pandemic monetary tightening between March 2022 and July 2023, which has led to global price changes in capital.
