That's false because loans are sometimes used for productive investments (infrastructure, education, health, industry) that can promote economic growth. The other statements are generally true: corruption can divert funds while the country remains liable, conditionality can force social spending cuts, and in extreme cases debt obligations can be larger than a country's annual GDP or otherwise overwhelm its economy.
