Paris Club secretariat contribution to FdD4 in Sevilla

Paris Club secretariat contribution to the Sevilla conference on financing for development

The Paris Club is a group of major sovereign creditors that has provided coordinated debt restructuring operations for almost 70 years. The Club is therefore an important stakeholder in international debates on external debt, which will be one of the major areas discussed at the upcoming Financing for Development conference (Sevilla, 30 June – 3 July 2025).

The Paris Club secretariat has therefore decided to prepare a contribution to the conference which reflects the secretariat’s views on external debt issues, drawing on the general sentiment expressed by Paris Club members as well as its own practical experiences.
