How do debt repayment and structural adjustment terms hamper economic development?

Debt repayment requires a country to send money to its creditors, while structural adjustment terms often require spending cuts or other economic changes.

Therefore, the correct choice is “Both measures rob a developing nation of money it could use to invest in social welfare improvements.”
