That’s a question we discussed at a recent event with international experts and practitioners. Among them was our Chief Economist Indermit Gill, who responded: “How can it not?

It can really hurt development, if it’s too high or unmanageable. But then, the real question is, what do you do about it? And is the cure often worse than the disease?” © 2025 The World Bank Group
