G-20 leaders had one thing on their minds when they gathered in Toronto in June 2010: debt. Their response to the crisis over the preceding three years was effective in stabilizing markets, buttressing the global financial system, and supporting growth through coordinated fiscal stimulus. But these bold actions took their toll.
Increased spending, tax cuts, bank bailouts, and the impact of automatic stabilizers saw a sharp increase in debt and deficits. From 2007 to 2018, G-20 countries added $33 trillion to the global stock of debt. The weighted-average debt-to-GDP ratio of G-20 countries increased by more than 40 percent from 2007 to 2018 (Figure 1 gives the unweighted gross debt-to-GDP ratio for each G-20 economy). In Europe, …

Faced with mounting foreign debt, some of which may have resulted from dubious loan agreements, the Maldives is looking at India for more budgetary support to help Male meet its development goals:
Ahead of his meeting with Indian leaders on Monday, Maldives foreign minister Abdulla Shahid told TOI that Male was still trying to study the implications of the debt accumulated by the previous Abdulla Yameen government as figures provided by government officials on foreign debt did not necessarily “tally with the Chinese estimates”.
The Maldives is said to owe close to 70 per cent of its external debt to China.
“We hope that India will be generous enough to help us with the initial management of any shortfall we might face. We know that the…

Businesses are sidestepping tax bills amounting to tens of millions of pounds using an insolvency procedure that the government is considering banning. That is the conclusion of an independent panel set up by the government to monitor the use of insolvency arrangements known as pre-packs.
The Pre Pack Pool says some businesses have used the procedure to shed tax bills and pension liabilities. I have seen cases where the objective[of the pre-pack] was avoidance of liabilities, said Stuart Hopewell, co-director of the Pre Pack Pool, introduced in 2015 to provide opinions on pre-packs involving sales to connected parties.
