Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Secretariat argues that vulnerability to climate change, economic shocks, and geopolitical tensions must be recognized alongside national income when assessing debt sustainability and concessional funding. This push aims to move calls for a more equitable international financial system from advocacy to action.

The World Bank and International Monetary Fund are currently leading reform efforts for the international financial system at the FfD4 conference.
