Many governments have announced large amounts of stimulus to support their respective economies, with some taking up more debt to fund those expenditure.

An increasing number of countries could default on their debt in the coming 12-18 months as governments globally increase spending to limit the economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic, said Simon Baptist, global chief economist at The Economist Intelligence Unit."Across the emerging world, I'll pick out countries like South Africa and Brazil as being likely to suffer a further crisis as a result of this," he added.

Took an economist to forecast this one....

More like CoronaCrisis. This is how the wake of the WWIII looks like. The inevitable logic of the evolution of capitalism...

Can’t they just print money like the fed?

And who would they be “defaulting “ the FED - and who owns the fed - screw the fed and those Pompass twats behind it

That's the plan.

The virus just speed things up... But debt is a love drug for majority of countries... Look at last 12 years of cheap money... But f.. k it... A system create by humans cant destroy humanity... Destroy this shity virus and print money

Wrong. Government did this, not a virus.

Why doesn’t every country just forgive all debts this year? Clean slate.

They thought Boris Johnson was a fool for Brexit. Looks like he saved the Pound Sterling just in time.
