52. 在伊斯坦布尔《2011-2020 十年期支援最不发达国家行动纲领》有效期内，对最不发达国家的官方发展援助一直在递增，但总体上没有达到国民总收入0.15%至 0.2%的目标。此外，由于越来越依赖优惠贷款，双边官方发展援助的优惠性质自 2020 年初以来有所下降。最不发达国家的外债存量为 3 580 亿美元，偿债占出口收入的比例已经从 2010 年的 5%增加到2019 年的 14.4%，几乎增加了两倍，而同期用于偿还政府担保债务的政府收入占比已经从 4.9%上升到17.2%。国际货币基金组织向 27 个最不发达国家提供与冠状病毒病有关的 2.31 亿美元债务减免，二十国集团和工业债权国巴黎俱乐部提出在 2020 年底之前暂停偿还 70 多个国家的债务，这些将提供一些喘息之机，但对最不发达国家来说还不够。根据世贸组织的数据，2019 年最不发达国家出口的商品和服务的价值下降了 1.6%，他们在全球出口中的总体份额降至0.91%，远低于《伊斯坦布尔行动纲领》2%的目标。
52. Increases in ODA to least developed countries over the lifespanof the Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011– 2020 had been incremental and, overall, had fallen short of the target of between 0.15 per cent and 0.2 per cent of gross national income (GNI). Moreover, the concessional nature of bilateral ODA had declined since the beginning of 2020, owing to a growing reliance on concessional loans. The least developed countries had an external debt stock of $358 billion and debt servicing as a share of export revenue had almost tripled from 5 per cent in 2010 to 14.4 per cent in 2019, while the share of government revenue dedicated to servicing publicly guaranteed debt had risen from 4.9 per cent to 17.2 per cent over the same period. The $231 million in COVID-19-related debt relief offered by IMF to 27 least developed countries and the suspension of debt payment until the end of 2020 for more than 70 countries offered by the G20 and the Paris Club of Industrial Country Creditors would offer some respite but did not go far enough for the least developed countries. According to WTO, the value of goods and services exported by the least developed countries had declined by 1.6 per cent in 2019 and their overall share of global exports had dropped to 0.91 per cent, well short of the Istanbul Programme of Action target of 2 per cent.
