It provides an overview of what debt is and outlines some of the root causes of debt crises, such as rising indebtedness from the 1970s-1980s due to economic policies. Debt servicing ratios above 15% of yearly export earnings can cause problems. International debt levels for low and middle income countries decreased 18% in 2014. The document also examines debt issues specifically for India, including an unmanageable accumulation of debt and increased foreign borrowing by large corporations.
