Since March 2020, 80 IMF lending arrangements have been approved. These arrangements arise in an era of historical global debt levels. The world is witnessing an insufficient and inadequate multilateral response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which will lock a large number of countries in a decade-long crisis of debt and austerity.
- What are the effects of growing debt piles for the public heath care sector in the Global South?
- How can we prevent that IMF austerity measures will arrest development efforts in the next decade?
- Which institutional changes are needed at the level of International Financial Institutions to avoid policy responses that create new debt traps?
