Asked by:
Abtisam Mohamed (Labour)

Answer

The UK is engaging with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the Debt Sustainability Framework for Low Income Countries (LIC-DSF) as part of the ongoing joint World Bank-IMF review of the Framework.

We welcome the review, as it is an important exercise to ensure that the LIC-DSF remains fit for purpose in providing nuanced and balanced assessments of countries’ debt situations, and supporting sustainable management of debt.
