Debt relief
Instruments:
Debt relief creates new opportunities
Since the mid-fifties, under agreements forged by the Paris Club (of major creditor countries), the industrial countries have put together a series of rescheduling – and later debt relief – arrangements for heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC). The aim was to reduce these countries’ debt burden to a sustainable level.
With the HIPC Initiative and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative highly indebted countries can, for the first time, be relieved of a large part of their debt vis-à-vis multilateral institutions.
