The next President should be committed to:

Appointing a Treasury Secretary who will work to end global poverty. The new Secretary should work within the IMF, World Bank and other international financial institutions to provide full debt cancellation to all the impoverished countries that need it to fight poverty, without requiring harmful economic policy conditions that raise the cost of water and electricity and restrict spending on healthcare and education. The Secretary should also work with international partners to cancel odious and unjust debts and to create a framework for responsible lending in the future.
