🔵 Following #FfD4, the #IMF and #WorldBank Annual Meetings, and #UNCTAD16, we held our workshop on public debt transparency, which explored ways to advance the ‘Seville Commitment’ in terms of shared responsibility for increasing transparency and accountability, from borrowers and lenders, as well as the role of all stakeholders, as a key component for a systemic debt architecture reform. Kick-off speakers: 🔹 @AGelpern 🔹 Penelope Hawkins 🔹 @davidmihalyi 🔹 @RamiroTosi 🔹 @JasonBraganza1

Billions of people are living in a full blown debt crisis & forced to default on development/human rights. Are we focusing too much on short-term challenges, asks @ifresnillo kicking off final CSPF event #IMFMeetings #WBGMeetings

Thoughts from the Annual Meetings: The IMF says the solution to high debt payments is more IMF and World Bank lending, tax rises and public spending cuts The same was done in the 1980s, private lenders were bailed out, economies stagnated for two decades and poverty increased

Here in NY, the negotiations on ToR for a #UNTaxConvention have ended and the FINAL text has been published: financing.desa.un.org/sites/default/… We expect a UN-vote on this text Friday 16 August at 15.00 New York time, and we are calling on countries to vote YES! What's at stake? 1/11
