UK cuts aid to Commonwealth countries despite warm words at Chogm summit
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The UK has cut overseas aid to Commonwealth countries despite warm words at the Chogm summit, with the Commonwealth faring worse than other nations in an analysis of recent and projected aid figures. Funding for nature projects has been especially hard hit even as the climate crisis intensifies global need. The reductions come amid sharp cuts to the UK’s overall aid budget. The figures contrast with praise for the group from the king and prime minister Andy Burnham this week. Watch for further details on the scale of the cuts and how Commonwealth governments respond.
