Hola<br>
<br>
Os paso un informe bastante completo que han publicado los
compañeros de la campaña de deuda en el Reino Unido sobre la deuda
en el Sur (sí! aún hay crisis de la deuda en el Sur). <br>
<br>
Está solo en inglés, pero vale la pena hechar un vistazo si
entendéis un poco el inglés, hay muchisimas cifras e infos
actualizadas.<br>
<br>
Besos<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi everyone,</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2">This weekend Jubilee Debt
Campaign launched our new report, <em><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://http://www.jubileedebtcampaign.org.uk/stateofdebt">The
state of debt: Putting an end to 30 years of debt crisis</a>.</em></font></font></div>
<div><em></em> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The report was covered in this
article in the Observer (the Sunday version of the Guardian
newspaper):</font></div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/20/poor-countries-debt-repayment-economic-crisis?newsfeed=true"><font
face="Arial" size="2">http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/20/poor-countries-debt-repayment-economic-crisis?newsfeed=true</font></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The report investigates the
external debts of both governments and the private sector in the
global South. Analysing newly-compiled data from international
financial institutions, it finds that private sector debt
payments out of impoverished countries are now double those of
the public sector, a complete turnaround since the year 2000.
High private sector debts have been the main cause of the
financial crisis in countries such as Spain, Ireland, Iceland
and the UK.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Arial" size="2">Key findings of the report
include:</font></div>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">Across the 32 low and lower middle
income countries where figures exist, private sector external
debt payments have increased from 4% of export earnings in
2000 to 10% in 2010. In contrast, government external debt
payments for these countries have fallen from 10% of export
revenues in 2000 to 5% in 2010. <br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">The negative impacts of the
financial crisis – including falling trade revenues, loss of
money sent home from migrants and multinational companies
sending more money back to the rich world – have seen lending
to the 35 most impoverished country governments almost double
from $5 billion in 2007 to $9 billion in 2009. As a result,
government debt payments by impoverished countries are
predicted to rise by a third by 2014. <br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">Three of the countries which had
some of their debt cancelled in response to the global jubilee
campaign – Mozambique, Ethiopia and Niger – are all soon
expected to be spending as much on foreign debt payments as
they were before receiving debt relief. The International
Monetary Fund and World Bank say 19 of the 32 countries which
have received debt relief are at high or moderate risk of not
being able to pay their debts. However, the largest lenders to
the most impoverished countries are the IMF and World Bank,
responsible for 45% of new loans. </font></li>
</ul>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Thirty-two countries have had $120
billion of debt cancelled over the last decade in response to
the global Jubilee campaign. Government foreign debt payments in
these countries have fallen from 20 per cent of government
revenue in 1998 to less than 5% in 2010. In these countries, the
number of children enrolled in primary school has increased from
63% in 2000 to 83% in 2010.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Some countries which did not
qualify for debt cancellation continue to have extremely high
debt burdens. The Philippines, Sri Lanka and El Salvador all
spend a quarter of government revenue on foreign debt payments.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The report includes case studies of
Jamaica, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Georgia.<br>
