Why it matters
The Borrowers' Platform involves multiple countries facing severe debt vulnerability. Muhammad Aurangzeb stressed that the Platform should promote mutual learning and technical cooperation, rather than acting as a collective bargaining or crisis-management mechanism. His priorities include strengthening debt-management practices and exploring innovative development-financing instruments.
Multiple countries, including Pakistan, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Maldives, and Nepal, are participating in the Borrowers’ Platform due to severe debt vulnerability.
