answer text <p>The Government recognises that ensuring debt sustainability and transparency in Low Income Countries (LICs) is important. UK-based lenders are subject to extensive prudential disclosure requirements under UK prudential and accounting law, including for material loans made to foreign Governments, which appropriately reflect firms’ exposures. Compliance with these requirements are independently assessed by the relevant UK regulator during their supervisory activities.</p><p> </p><p>Given the complex international nature of LIC debt, we continue to believe that internationally-agreed assessments and coordinated approaches to tackle debt vulnerability are most effective. The G20 have been supporting work on debt sustainability, including G20 sustainable lending guidelines and voluntary industry-led initiatives to promote debt transparency from private lenders to sovereign nations, especially LICs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government agrees that the maintenance of sustainable debt levels is a critical factor for achieving poverty reduction. The UK has provided more than £5 billion in debt relief since 1996 under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries and Multilateral Debt Relief Initiatives, and will continue to promote debt sustainability internationally.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also committed to supporting developing countries to access their domestic tax revenues through our efforts in driving the G20-OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project and our commitment to funding tax capacity building in developing countries bilaterally and multilaterally - including through the direct provision of technical assistance by the UK to tackle tax avoidance.</p> more like this
