Sri Lanka's Debt Crisis: Who Is Really To Blame? | Debt Bomb | Full Episode

When Sri Lanka defaulted on its foreign debt for the first time in its history in 2022, it sparked fears of more sovereign defaults to come. Global financial institutions say debt is at the highest level in decades and about 60 percent of low-income countries are now in, or at risk of, debt distress. As interest payments come due in the later half of 2023, are we going to see a string of defaults leading to a global financial contagion? We look at the human cost when a country goes bankrupt, trace how so much bad debt was created and investigate the so-called debt traps. Sri Lanka has pinned its immediate hopes on a multi-billion-dollar bailout deal with the International Monetary Fund. But that comes with austerity measures that the IMF itself has said reduces growth. Can Sri Lanka change its economic course and avoid another bailout or default in future?
