The World Bank issues a warning about the significant increase in borrowing costs for developing nations, which poses challenges to boosting economic growth. International bond sales from emerging market governments have reached a record high of $47 billion in January, with some riskier issuers facing higher interest rates.

Kose added that faster growth, especially a real growth rate higher than the real cost of borrowing, could prove elusive.
