China Suspends Debt Repayments for 77 Developing Countries And Regions
China Suspends Debt Repayments for 77 Developing Countries And Regions
by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/07/2020
Even as whispers of a grand debt jubilee grow in the developed world, China on Sunday announced the suspension of debt repayment for 77 developing countries and regions as "the nation is working with other G20 members to carry out the G20 debt relief initiative for low-income countries," the Global Times reported, citing Chinese officials at a press briefing at the State Council Information Office.
The debt moratorium comes after China announced in May it would provide $2 billion over two years to help other countries respond to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ma Zhaoxu, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that the fund will be not only include medical supplies, but also support other countries restart their economies and development. Ma made the comment at the press briefing to release the white paper titled "Fighting COVID-19 China in Action."
China's virtue signaling generosity did not end there: Ma added that China is negotiating bilateral aid with recipient countries in need in an equal manner to identify assisting projects to help developing nations improve public health standards, improve their livelihoods and resume their economies.
In short, China is preparing for one massive debt-for-equity swap where China will simply end up holding the equity.
And speaking of taking over, China is doing everything in its power to get all global NGOs on its side, having made made multilateral donations to the World Health Organization of $50 million, and providing assistance to global organizations including the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization.
China also actively assisted in the fundraising event organized by the Solidarity Response Fund of the WHO in China; we can only imagine that's the reason why the WHO transformed into China's PR agency since the coronavirus outbreak.

Information / Report The Iraqi economy has recently been experiencing financial and monetary instability, clearly manifested in the successful surges in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets. This sudden rise was not a coincidence, but rather the result of a complex interplay between external pressures and emergency domestic monetary policies that disrupted the balance of supply and demand.

The SEC’s September 17, 2026 Innovation Exemption removes regulatory barriers, enabling the DTCC to initiate asset tokenization on Ripple (XRP Ledger) in October. This aligns with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) digital Dinar (dIQD) framework, which enforces 1:1 parity with physical IQD through a permissioned ledger governed by the Trade Bank of Iraq, Rafidain, and Rasheed Banks.
