This is why it is so important to strengthen international development financing: to turn it into a genuine lever of prosperity for the countries that need it. Spain is a country that understands that for its 48 million citizens to aspire to a better future, we must work to ensure that the eight billion people on our planet live with dignity. We have spaces from which we can act to achieve a deep reform and modernisation of international financial institutions and multilateral development banks. But we must go further. We must make progress toward fairer and more inclusive mechanisms, address the debt problem, mobilise additional sources of finance, and ultimately guarantee greater support to those who need it most. We must implement more effective, transparent, and fair tax policies to mobilise domestic resources, including through a global minimum tax on large fortunes and the full implementation of the OECD and G20's two-pillar framework on multinational taxation as the basis for a future Framework Convention on Tax Cooperation.
