Since the pandemic began, the debt situation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been furtherexacerbated as the pandemic has constrained the ability of many countries to mobilise revenues;it has also raised public sector financing requirements. To close the financial gap,countries in SSA need short-term and long-term liquidity from a wide range of financiers.The G20 assumes a crucial role in resolving debt problems in SSA as the only forum thatencompasses the governments of Africa’s most important creditors among industrialisedcountries and emerging markets. The G20 can help by: (a) operationalising, in the shortterm,the Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the Debt Service SuspensionInitiative (DSSI) and linking it to sustainable development; (b) supporting robust replenishmentsof the concessional windows of the International Development Association (IDA) andthe African Development Fund (ADF) and a new allocation of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)for low-income countries (LICs); (c) enhancing capacity building for domestic resource mobilisationin LICs through the development of financial sectors and public financial management;and (d) developing a set of critical indicators for CRAs that can easily be comparedacross countries and can stand the test of time and changing risk profiles.
