“…While the general government revenue in emerging and developing Asia dropped from 25.0% of GDP in 2019 to 23.6% in 2020, total expenditure increased from 30.7% to 32.6% in the same period, resulting in the higher government outstanding debts at 73.3% of GDP in 2022 compared with 58.9% in 2019. 1 In some economies, debt has reached uncomfortable levels and is projected to rise further in the coming years (Ferrarini, Giugale, and Pradelli 2022).
