It means Mexico's government has to pay interests instead of using that money for more productive enterprises. Foreign debt has the same mechanics of a credit card: if you keep using it constantly, you will have to either pay the minimum or be forced to pay for the interests; as well as Mexico's debtors, if you "default" or stop paying those interests, nobody else will give you any credit.

Why is foreign debt a serious problem?

Foreign debt can be a serious problem because it places a burden on a country's economy, requiring significant portions of national income to be allocated to debt repayment rather than domestic investments. High levels of foreign debt can lead to economic instability, reduced credit ratings, and increased vulnerability to global market fluctuations. Additionally, reliance on foreign creditors can limit a nation's economic sovereignty and policy-making flexibility, potentially leading to austerity measures that adversely affect social welfare and development.
