This is huge,\u201d said Adam Elhiraika, director of the macroeconomics and governance division at the CEA, during a conference held in the Zimbabwean resort of Victoria Falls.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nRecalling that the continent&#8217;s debt\/GDP ratio had reached 62.5% at the end of 2022, the UN official also called on African countries to better collaborate with international donors to reduce their debts to sustainable levels.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \n\u201cAfrican countries must collaborate with their international partners to fight against over-indebtedness,\u201d he stressed, indicating that eight countries are already in a situation of over-indebtedness and that thirteen others \u201crisk becoming so\u201d, if nothing is done. is designed to reverse the trend.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nSpeaking at the same conference, Zimbabwean Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said he and his African counterparts &#8220;plan to formally request an overhaul of the global financial system&#8221; to better adapt it to the needs of a continent. facing high debt levels, increasing climate shocks and soaring inflation.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \n\u201cAccess to finance for Africa must be made cheaper and easier. This is why it is necessary to review the international financial architecture to ensure that it is adapted to this objective,\u201d he argued. And added: \u201cthe G20 Framework on the treatment of debt and the financing mechanisms for the fight against climate change must be reviewed to meet the needs of Africa\u201d.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nZimbabwe is among African countries struggling with high debt levels. It failed in its obligations to international financial institutions more than twenty years ago. This deprived him of lines of credit. Zambia, Ghana and Ethiopia have also defaulted on their debts in recent years.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":116,"featured_media":20977,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1058,713,699,937],"location":[505],"class_list":["post-23081","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-debt","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-society","location-africa"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/48XEv9r","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"Shaken by a succession of exogenous economic shocks such as the covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the rise in interest rates on international markets, African countries have seen their average debt-to-GDP ratio reach 62.5%. at the end of 2022.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/9113407007_84da08e234_b-550x360.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/9113407007_84da08e234_b-550x360.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.67,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/9113407007_84da08e234_b.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/9113407007_84da08e234_b.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.67,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
