Some of the world's smallest economies, especially in Africa , could be at increased risk of being unable to pay their debts in the medium term.

The pandemic, the Ukraine war , and domestic strife have led governments, including Argentina , Ecuador , Ethiopia , Ghana , Sri Lanka and Zambia , to default since 2020 .

Investors do not expect more sovereign defaults in 2025 , but credit metrics for smaller and riskier countries point to a structural weakening.
