Debt burden in poor nations climbs toward 1975 ceiling
The Agency for International Development warns that total external debt of less developed countries rose from 10 billion in 1955 to 830 billion this year and will reach about 90 billion by 1975 at current rates. Debt service could exceed 7 billion annually by 1975, costing 13.6 percent of export earnings, up from 3.7 percent ten years ago and 10 percent now. The remedy is more favorable loan terms from the United States and other donors to spur actual development.
