This is a fundamental principle of the G20 Common Framework.</p><p> </p><p>At this stage, the Government is not pursuing legislative approaches, such as those outlined in the cited briefing paper, to ensure comparability of treatment. The Government is focused on delivering enhancements to the market-based (contractual) approach to private sector participation in debt treatments, including taking the lead in developing Majority Voting Provisions for private syndicated loans. These promote more efficient restructurings by reducing the ability for creditors to hold out in restructurings.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 23/02/2024 14:34:24 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami
