Source: World Bank data. Note: GNI = gross national income; — = not available. For definitions of indicators, see the “About the Data” section. Numbers in italics are based on the latest available Debt Sustainability Analysis for Low-Income Countries (LIC DSA) and include the effects of traditional relief, debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) Initiative, and relief under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). Under MDRI, the International Development Association (IDA), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the African Development Fund (AfDF) provide debt stock cancellation to post–completion point HIPCs on debt owed to the three institutions. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) provides similar debt stock cancellation under the IDB 2007 Debt Initiative. MDRI debt relief provides 100 percent stock cancellation on debt disbursed before the end of 2004 (for the IMF, AfDF, and IDB) or the end of 2003 (for IDA) and still outstanding at the time the country reaches the completion point under the HIPC Initiative. In line with the Debt Sustainability Framework for Low-Income Countries, only the conditional debt relief under HIPC Initiative is included for countries in the interim period (between the decision and completion points of the HIPC Initiative).
