11 June – The Next Financial Crises Discussed at the EURODAD Policy Forum, Brussels
DFI attended the EURODAD Policy Forum in Brussels and made a keynote presentation on Current and Potential Global Financial Crises, and how we can resolve or prevent them.
DFI’s presentation focussed on the existing widespread debt crisis crowding out SDG spending; the growing crisis of falling and less effective aid flows; the potential tax revenue crisis if global tax dodging and the race to the bottom on tax rates is not stopped; and the potential crisis which might be caused by excessive financialisation and privatisation of public services and infrastructure in developing countries. Participants from European and Southern CSOs then spent a day strategising and planning future work on to resolve current or prevent future financial crises.
