The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing debt vulnerabilities and triggered a new debt crisis. Despite the urgency of the situation, the multilateral response has been insufficient, and many challenges remain unaddressed. The session will discuss policy alternatives to address the debt problem in developing countries.

This session is sponsored by Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), LATINDADD, AFRODAD, Debt Justice Norway, Erlassjahr.de, Jubilee USA, Jubilee Debt Campaign, Eurodad, Oxfam, Christian Aid, Society for International Development (SID), Public Eye and Brot für die Welt.
