This is a disaster waiting to happen. Haven’t we learned anything from @Glencore’s Chad fiasco? A Dubai Firm Pledged $13 Billion for 20 Years of South Sudan Oil via @business bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
This idea, that #ParisClub representative is sharing, that #CommonFramework is improving because time between requesting restructuring and financial assurances is shortened is so terribly unambitious! How about we evaluate CF on the debt relief delivered?!?!!!
Question: Whenever I look at IMF or World Bank figures, the interest rate/net present value of external bonds is higher than other forms of commercial external debt. Are bonds generally on worse terms for lower income countries? And if so, why do they keep being used?

Two of the world’s BIGGEST development banks are locking countries in debt AND a reliance on #FossilFuels We’ve been protesting with global allies at their spring meetings in Washington 📢 @IMFNews & @WorldBank - it’s time to stop unjust, climate wrecking #debt. #FixTheFinance
The @g20org’s Common Framework for Debt is designed and run by China, the Paris Club, and the IIF creditors to benefit themselves, causing massive damage to people in developing countries.

One thing I can agree on with The @guardian: with development going in reverse, the “business-as-usual approach is both unethical and unsustainable.” Both private sector and sovereign bilateral creditors must act now to reduce developing countries’ debt burdens.

Yesterday Ghana, today banks, hedge funds and asset managers have blocked a debt relief deal for Sri Lanka. It's no use asking them nicely, private lenders need to be made to take part in debt relief, and that means a new law in the UK debtjustice.org.uk/news/private-l… #CancelTheDebt

Once again private lenders are refusing to take part in debt relief agreements. That's why we need a law in London to make them. Full reaction from @debtjustice to Ghana's bondholders refusing to give enough debt relief here: debtjustice.org.uk/press-release/…

Debt Justice has estimated that under today's deal Zambia's bondholders will get paid 62 cents for every dollar lent - governments are getting 55 cents BUT if the IMF and World Bank judge that some minor changes have happened, bondholders will get 93 cents, and governments 87

President @HHichilema is correct to say that the @g20org Common Framework for debt reduction is not working. The US, @IMFNews and @WorldBank should be crystal clear that the @g20org, Paris Club, China and private creditors must reduce unsustainable debts to poorer countries.

Interesting from new World Bank statistics on defaults is that the highest recovery rates among private-sector counterparts were in Sub-Saharan #Africa among all regions and among low-income countries. Quite a strong negative correlation between recovery rates and income-level.
It was an honor to represent @UNCTAD at the Federal Parliament of Belgium @LaChambreBE to discuss the project of law n° 3380 aimed at regulating the practices private creditors of countries requesting restructuring or suspension of their debts.
📢New @GlobeWarwick & @CBLP_Leeds Briefing📢@DrSConnelly @KPatricio_ & I set out proposals for UK legislative reform to deal with the lack of private creditor participation in sovereign debt restructurings that compound developing country debt crises bit.ly/3wnXb4O🧵1/12
Reminder that sometimes the real debt crisis is when loans do get repaid...
Kenya has been lent $1.5bn by international financiers at a staggering 10.375% interest rate None of the money will be invested, just used to pay a previous debt to the same companies $155m will leave Kenya every year, and the Kenyan people will see nothing in return

🧵 1/ It has been a great privilege to serve as the Shadow Secretary for International Development through a tumultuous few years: a global pandemic that has set the clock back on years of progress, the UK’s disastrous exit from Afghanistan, and Putin’s abhorrent war in Ukraine.
Please stop using the term 'third world country' to describe the UK. Many third world countries have better infrastructure that works. The UK is what it is: a declining empire that has not come to terms with its deindustrialising status due to nostalgia & arrogrance.
"Britain feels like an absolute shambles, a basket case. Almost nothing works any more, and it hasn't done so for a while now... It's all me, me, me and sod the rest of you." Good summary by @WestminsterWAG. And this same selfish greed aided Brexit. mol.im/a/12458565
