Before the floods, public debt was already unsustainable: $242Bn in 2021, $7 billion more than 2020. $5Bn paid to foreign lenders in Jul-Dec 2021 alone. Continued debt service will divert funds for emergency relief and climate resilience. #CanceltheDebt #SolidaritywithPakistan

As Blackrock announce an 18% increase in 2020 revenue, and $7.8 *trillion* in assets, we release figures on how Blackrock and fellow banks are profiting from the #COVID19 debt crisis in Africa and beyond. #CancelTheDebt (1/9) globaljustice.org.uk/news/2020/oct/…
Today the G20 will extend debt relief in 2021, but this isn’t proper cancellation AND doesn’t include big banks who are raking it in. Lower income countries will pay $13 billion to rich investors by end 2020 (2/9) in.reuters.com/article/imf-wo…
