recipient countries, and will work towards a global consensus on guidelines for debtor
and creditor responsibilities in borrowing by and lending to sovereigns, building on
existing initiatives;

and international economic, financial and regulatory environment for the means of
implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including financial
inclusion, and in this regard invites all major institutional stakeholders, including the
