The UK welcomes Ghana’s request for a debt treatment under the G20 Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the Debt Service Suspension Initiative. We stand ready to deliver a debt treatment for Ghana under the Common Framework in a timely and efficient manner. We look forward to the swift formation of a creditor committee for Ghana which will discuss and agree the parameters of a debt treatment.
