Over the same period, 22 of the nations paid more than $26.6 billion to their external creditors, which comprises 50 non-governmental organisation, it said. This in turn meant governments needed to spend more revenue on debt servicing, with countries like Belize, Cape Verde, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Maldives, Grenada and Papua New Guinea allocating between 15%-40% to pay their external creditors, it said.

In June, the fund’s executive board approved a $60 million programme for Cape Verde while Barbados struck a deal for $293 million in late September.
