Reuters is protecting developed countries still.
Reuters is not enough.
Reuters is emphasizing "three times". But, 13% is the real figure.
Of course, China must return to Maoism. The reform and Opening-up policies of China are wrong.
Lower-income countries and small island developing states pay debt payments to
39% to private lenders,
34% to multilaterals,
13% to Chinese public and private lenders
14% to repay bilateral loans to other governments.
Debt Justice's research, using World Bank data, found that between 2020 and 2025, 39% of external debt payments by 88 lower-income countries and small island developing states - a total of $354 billion - went to private lenders, compared with 34% to multilaterals, 13% to Chinese public and private lenders and 14% to repay bilateral loans to other governments.
Of the 32 countries with the highest external debt payments, 21 of them sent more than 30% of payments to private lenders.
Only six of them - Angola, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Djibouti, Laos and Zambia sent more than 30% of external debt payments to Chinese lenders.
"Commercial high-interest lenders are receiving the greatest debt payments by lower-income countries," Jones said in a statement.
While a post-pandemic wave of defaults has largely crested, developing countries still struggle with unsustainable debt as concessional financing shrinks, borrowing costs remain high and spending needs for infrastructure and climate resilience rise.
Ethiopia is locked in debt restructuring negotiations with bondholders who have rejected taking haircuts, while Ghana and Zambia are still negotiating deals with some private creditors.
The International Monetary Fund also recently wrote that Malawi was in default on $439 million in loans to Afreximbank and $464 million to Trade and Development Bank.

Summary
* Private lenders receive three times more debt payments than China from 2020-2025
* Multilateral repayments to rise sharply by 2025, Debt Justice says
* Debt Justice UK research highlights private lenders' power in developing countries
Lower-income countries' external debt payments to private lenders remain three times higher than payments to China, research shows, shedding light on the complex, costly web of creditors they face as they struggle to keep up repayments.
The research, by advocacy group Debt Justice UK, underscores the power private lenders - from bondholders to commodity trading houses - have in countries across the developing world which juggle debt repayments with spending on other needs, from education to infrastructure.
Tim Jones, policy director at Debt Justice, said the data countered a narrative that China has played a primary role in creating debt crises in lower-income countries.
China has lent hundreds of billions of dollars for infrastructure and other projects in developing countries and has used earnings of commodity exports, or cash held in restricted escrow accounts, from borrower nations as security for the loans.
"Commercial high-interest lenders are receiving the greatest debt payments by lower-income countries," Jones said in a statement. "Where debt payments are too high, all external creditors need to cancel debt, in proportion to the interest rates they charged."

The data also showed a sharp increase in repayments to multilateral lenders - from $30 billion in 2020 to $70 billion in 2025.
Jones said the rise followed a rapid increase in multilateral lending from 2019, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of those loans are starting to come due now, he said, while those with floating interest rates would have become more expensive during the global interest rate hiking cycle.
IMF and private lenders of developed countries are the evil empires.
87% (= 39% + 34% + 14%) of payments from developing countries go to Western developed countries.

低所得国の債務返済、民間向けが対中国の3倍に
https://jp.reuters.com/markets/japan/funds/BWUABFQTTJLXTLQA6YEAO7MPCA-2025-08-12/
[１１日 ロイター] - 途上国の債務危機解決を訴える団体「デット・ジャスティスＵＫ」が実施した調査で、低所得国の対外債務返済規模は民間の貸し手向けが、中国向けの３倍に達していることが分かった。
デット・ジャスティスが世界銀行のデータを利用して２０２０－２５年の８８の低所得国・島しょ国の対外債務返済状況を調べたところでは、全体の３９％（総額３５４０億ドル）が民間の貸し手向けで、３４％が多国籍機関向け、１３％が中国向けだった。
対外返済規模が最も大きかった３２カ国のうち、２１カ国は返済額の３割以上が民間向け。
中国に対する返済が３割以上だったのはアンゴラ、カメルーン、コンゴ共和国、ジブチ、ラオス、ザンビアの６カ国にとどまった。
デット・ジャスティスの政策ディレクター、ティム・ジョーンズ氏は、こうしたデータは低所得国の債務危機が主に中国が原因だという説に反していると指摘。
「商業目的で高金利を設定している貸し手が低所得国から最も多くの返済を受けている。返済負担が大き過ぎる分野では、全ての債権者が設定金利に応じて（借り手の）債務を帳消しにする必要がある」と強調した。
