The current global debt system is deeply flawed. It encourages high rates of borrowing by governments, then forces the burden of debt onto the shoulders of citizens. Public services and human rights are sacrificed to ever increasing debt repayments.
We’ve seen the devastating consequences of this during the Covid-19 pandemic, as instead of being able to prioritise funding for vital healthcare and vaccines for their citizens, many global south governments are instead having to pay off crippling debts to some of the largest financial corporations in the world.
That’s why we’re calling on banks to cancel debt, and governments to enact regulations. Together, we can fix this.
