About this work

Bloomberg Línea reports that Bolivia, Brazil and Suriname rank among the 30 economies with the highest public debt relative to GDP, based on IMF data analyzed by the IIF. Jonathan Fortun said the region no longer acts as a bloc, since what worsened is the dispersion between countries rather than average debt. He said the IMF projects Brazil's debt rising to 106.5% of GDP in 2031, a slow deterioration rather than a crisis, and described Mexico's tension as cost and contingent liabilities.
