Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has had recent discussions with the International Monetary Fund on levels of national global debt.

As the Government’s lead on sovereign debt, HM Treasury maintains regular engagement with the International Monetary Fund on a bilateral basis, as well as in international fora – including the G7, G20, and the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable – to discuss global debt levels and coordinate on strengthening the international debt architecture.
