Interest Can Damage Economy Of Tier 3 Countries

The only country that supposedly benefits from the interest money is the Tier 1 countries because they are the ones who provide loans to poorer countries.

This leads to wealthy countries making more wealth and poor countries suffer from poverty and inflation even more.
