Which statement below is incorrect regarding external debt?
Multiple choice question for The External Debt and Financial Crises. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
External debt grows as a result of deficits in the international balance of payments related to goods, services, and income. When debts are denominated in U.S. dollars, the dollar's appreciation in the 1990s made servicing these debts more costly. International lenders often required LDC governments to guarantee private debts. However, it is incorrect to say that LDCs relied more heavily on aid from DCs during the 1990s.
