International Conference on Financing for Development
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what her priorities are for reforming taxation and private investment flows at the forthcoming UN Financing for Development conference.
- Answer
-
As a country that has met its commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI on international development, the UK’s priority for the UN Financing for Development Conference is to provide a solid foundation for the post-2015 summit in September and the climate meeting in December.
The UK is seeking an innovative approach to development finance that helps developing countries mobilise their own tax revenues and catalyses private financial flows, building on the progress made at the 2013 UK-led G8 summit in the areas of trade, tax and transparency.
