Here’s a summary of their requests: Extend the G20’s Debt Service Suspension Initiative through 2021. Provide an immediate cash injection of between $100-$150 billion to assist African economies facing liquidity challenges. Issue new IMF Special Drawing Rights that would provide additional capital to the ...
