A stable global economy depends on sustainable debt for developing countries.
Many developing countries pay two to ten times higher interest rates than wealthier nations while also losing billions of dollars that flow out each year through debt servicing and financial leakage, often back into wealthy countries.
This weakens health systems, slows development, and increases global risk.
Leaders in the U.S. and Europe can help lead meaningful reform.
Our Freedom from Debt campaign calls for: ✔ Implement a Borrowers’ Forum to strengthen the Global South’s negotiating power ✔ Ensure debt pauses during public health emergencies or climate disasters ✔ Back a global AI solidarity levy on AI firms’ capital investments and revenues
Unsustainable debt is a human rights issue. A fairer, more balanced system benefits everyone.
