answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2024 answer text <p>There has been recent damage to the oil pipeline that carries oil from South Sudan to Sudan, which has significantly reduced the South Sudanese government's oil production capabilities and subsequently their income. This economic deterioration is exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation in South Sudan, as food prices and the cost of humanitarian assistance delivery have increased. We are continuing to monitor the impacts of this closely, including on the security and humanitarian situation in both Sudan and South Sudan.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 25/03/2024 14:20:25 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2024 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of private sector lending to low-income countries. The UK, alongside international partners, expects private creditors to participate in debt restructurings on terms at least as favourable as bilateral (i.e. country) creditors.</p><p>At this time, the Government is focused on delivering a market-based (contractual) approach to private sector participation in debt restructuring, which the IMF have found to be largely effective in recent years. As part of this, the UK has led the development of Majority Voting Provisions for private syndicated loans. We engage regularly with the Treasury on this issue.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 26/03/2024 14:26:37 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
