Column / The Radius or Economic Intelligence - The Factory of the increased indebtedness of poor countries
Dilan KENNE
The additional cultural clauses in the granting of credits to developing countries, a brake on pluralist access for the poorest social strata: a source of indebtedness and chronic underdevelopment in poor countries.
The leaders of the underdeveloped countries in search of development or, those who experience difficulties in relation to the recovery of their economy, find in the international financial institutions the ideal salvation for the well-being of the citizens.
A way used but not always consecrated. Because there is a saying that « one only lends to the rich ». However, many African countries, even emerging ones, are struggling to balance their economy (macroeconomic assessment).
Originally, the inequitable distribution of the national income; public expenditure essentially linked to the consumption of imported or luxury goods, absorbing almost all the financial capacities of the country, necessary for the construction of road infrastructures, real estate, etcconducive to a smart economy.Leaders, especially African ones, generally proceed or on a regular cycle, to the recovery or readjustment of development programs with international financial institutions.
