The British Council is considering selling up to half of the 9000 works in its art collection in order to pay a debt of £197m. This is the remaining total from its £250m pandemic-era government loan. Without additional financial support, it is ‘in real danger of disappearing’ the institution’s CEO Scott McDonald told The Guardian. The council is also considering shutting its operations in 30 to 40 countries.
McDonald states that the British Council is committed to paying back the loan but insists that the government must help find a viable solution. ‘I would just like reasonable loan terms of something like 25 years and a lower interest rate’ he said. The Art Newspaper has estimated that the current commercial interest rate applied to the loan amounts to £14m annually.
