Résumé
Welcomes the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Debt Initiative endorsed by the Interim Committee of IMF and the Development Committee of the World Bank and IMF, designed to enable eligible heavily indebted poor countries to achieve a sustainable debt situation through coordinated action by all creditors on the basis of adjustment efforts by the debtor countries; welcomes the decision taken by the Paris Club to go beyond the Naples terms to provide debt reduction, including some debt stock forgiveness for the poorest and most heavily indebted countries, stresses the need for the swift implementation of that decision, and urges all other bilateral creditors to make comparable contributions in the context of coordinated efforts by all countries; reaffirms the Mid-term Global Review of Progress towards the Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the 1990s, in particular the appropriate actions in favour of those countries concerning their official bilateral, commercial and multilateral debt; stresses the importance of continued concessional Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility lending operations for low-income developing countries; calls upon the international community, including the UN system, and invites the Bretton Woods institutions, as well as the private sector, to take appropriate measures and action for the implementation of the commitments, agreements and decisions of the major UN conferences and summits organized since the beginning of the 1990s on development related to the question of external debt.
