In addition, the distribution of risks is wide and tilted toward debt accumulating even faster,&#8221; the IMF said in its Fiscal Monitor October report.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it noted that with a 5% risk, public debt is expected to reach 123% of GDP by 2029.<\/p>\n<p>For most major economies, the IMF said public debt exceeds 100% of GDP, or is on track to exceed that level.<\/p>\n<p>The number of countries with public debt exceeding 100% of GDP is expected to gradually decrease over the next five years, and those countries are projected to increase their share of global GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Canada, China, France, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US are among the G20 countries where public debt exceeds 100% of GDP. &#8220;These countries typically have deep and liquid sovereign bond markets and often broad policy choices, resulting in their fiscal risk considered moderate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, many emerging economies and low-income countries face tougher fiscal challenges, despite their relatively low debt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The number of countries with public debt below 60% of GDP increased to more than 100 in 2021 and is projected to continue to increase, although their GDP share in the world represents less than 30%,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The IMF noted that developing nations have few options for funding and policy. Despite having debt ratios that are frequently less than 60% of GDP, 55 countries are either in a debt crisis or at significant risk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When countries falter on debt, timely debt restructuring is critical to containing the damage,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
