A discussion on how the FfD4 outcome document - the Compromiso de Sevilla (the Seville Commitment) shifts the narrative on debt from being a mere problem to framing it as a critical issue requiring structural reform in the global financial architecture. We explore what Africa's demands were and what has been achieved, including calls for an intergovernmental process to seek sustainable debt solutions, calls for reforming credit rating agencies and enhancing national debt management systems.

We also delve into specific recommendations made in the outcome document, such as incorporating temporary suspensions of debt service during negotiations and legislation to limit holdouts by creditors. Discover the implications these reforms have for improving debt scenarios and enhancing fiscal space for African nations. Watch to also learn what needs to be done to achieve effective debt restructuring and debt sustainability for developing countries.
