Brief Summary of Significance of Research
It is very important to highlight the causes, complexities, remedies and policies regarding the increasing debt and debt servicing problem through empirical evidences.
If the benefit of economic growth is shared within a specific group of the society and poor are left behind then policy makers need to review the growth oriented policy.
Domestic resource mobilization is the most sustainable source of development which the policy makers have completely ignored.
An endeavour will be made to bring together the literature that link external debt to poverty, income distribution and growth.
