Countries also take out loans to invest in public services and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK, along with most developed countries, has sovereign debt which is mainly borrowed internally from the Bank of England and in pound sterling. Some 70% of UK debt is internal via gilts for as long as thirty years (source: Office of National Statistics), hence the money stays in the UK economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of low income countries\u2019 debt is owed externally to foreign lenders, therefore the money leaves the country. The debt is also owed in US dollars and other foreign currencies so there is also an exchange rate risk. In 2024, net interest payments on public debt reached $921bn, an increase of 10% on 2023 (source: UN Trade &amp; Development). The debt is much shorter term and has high interest rates, often meaning it cannot be repaid so is rolled over at even higher rates. This results in an ever-spiralling cycle of debt with further cutbacks to healthcare, education and other essential services.

This enabled countries to reduce poverty and fund health and education programmes. However, since the financial crash in 2008, recurring shocks, including Covid, the climate crisis and Ukraine war, have further exacerbated inequality and entrenched poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 90% of the debt owed by low income countries to private lenders and hedge funds governed by English law, the UK is in a unique position to drive systemic change (source: International Development Committee, UK Parliament).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Bill is a proposed private member\u2019s bill designed to limit how much commercial creditors and \u2018vulture funds\u2019 can extract from countries, aligning them with international relief frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original bill ran out of parliamentary time in May this year but has been reintroduced for the new session. It is important that MPs are aware of this bill and support it. If you feel strongly about this issue, please raise it with your local MP.
