<p>The main UK government agencies involved in lending to developing countries are:
UK Export Finance (UKEF) and (historic loans only) the Department for International
Development (DfID). Both publish details of the guarantees and loans they provide
in their Annual Report and Accounts, which are published on their websites. Where
UKEF provides financing for public borrowers or guarantors in developing countries,
it is subject to OECD Sustainable Lending Principles.</p><p> </p><p>The UK strongly
believes that transparency of loans is an important driver of debt sustainability.
Given the complex international nature of sovereign debt, we continue to believe that
internationally-agreed approaches are the most effective way to improve sovereign
debt transparency and sustainability. We are working with our EU partners, and others,
through the G20 to ensure the ongoing implementation of the G20’s agreed Operational
Guidelines for Sustainable Financing for official creditors in 2017.</p>
