Overview
The G7’s grand promise at Cologne – an enhanced HIPC that would deliver debt relief to 25 countries this year – has been left hanging. Only eight countries have begun to receive debt relief. IMF conditionality and an unnecessarily bureaucratic process has slowed debt relief to a trickle. Oxfam proposes a quicker, simpler way forward.
