Cancellation of HIPC debt
27th Sep 2005, 16:37 GMT
Released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury I was very pleased to see that the World Bank Development Committee today strongly endorsed the proposal for 100 percent cancellation of HIPC debt. We expect the executive boards of the IMF and World Bank to swiftly give final approval and move on to implementing it.
