flag Over 160 groups urge South Africa to push for debt relief during G20 presidency, warning of rising defaults and inequality.

flag Over 160 global organizations have urged South Africa to take stronger action on debt sustainability during its G20 presidency, criticizing the country for failing to deliver meaningful reforms ahead of the U.S. taking over in December. flag The groups called for debt cancellation, improved restructuring processes, an African Credit Rating Agency, a Borrowers Club, and selling IMF gold to fund relief, warning that developing nations—now facing over $109 trillion in debt—are at growing risk of default, with African countries paying billions more in interest despite similar credit profiles. flag They said current G20 efforts remain too slow, shallow, and unequal, threatening climate and development goals.
