<p>The Government remains committed to the International Development (Official Development
Assistance Target) Act 2015 and to spending 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on
Official Development Assistance (ODA) once the fiscal situation allows.</p><p> </p><p>In
July 2021 the former Chancellor set out the fiscal circumstances under which the UK
will make the return to spending 0.7% of its GNI on ODA. This is set out in detail
in a written ministerial statement, here: <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-07-12/hcws172"
target="_blank">https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-07-12/hcws172</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Each year, the Government will continue to monitor future forecasts closely
and will review and confirm, in accordance with the Act, whether a return to spending
0.7% of GNI on ODA is possible against the latest fiscal forecasts.</p>
