*There was an error in last year鈥檚 figure for total exposure in Ghana. The correct figure for the UK鈥檚 total exposure in Ghana for 2023 is 拢219.53.
** This outstanding amount is due to be cancelled further to Somalia reaching Completion Point under the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) Initiative this year.
***The UK鈥檚 recent agreement to participate in the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loan scheme, along with other G7 partners, has not yet been fully operationalised and is therefore not reflected in this year鈥檚 report. We expect this to be reflected in next year鈥檚 data, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
