This report reviews developments in the implementation of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). It also provides updates on debt service and poverty-reducing expenditure by beneficiary countries, as well as on the cost of debt relief, creditor participation rates, and litigation against HIPCs. The cost of debt relief to creditors under the HIPC Initiative is currently estimated at US$76.2 billion, while the cost to the four multilaterals providing debt relief under the MDRI is estimated at US$43.3 billion (both in end-2017 present value terms).
The HIPC initiative and the MDRI have helped reduce excessive debt burdens in 36 post-completion point countries, offering them a fresh start and renewed access to development finance. Poverty-reducing expenditures (7.3 percent of GDP) were almost four times as great as debt-service payments (1.9 percent of GDP) in 2017.
Multilateral and Paris Club creditor participation has been strong. Multilateral creditors and the Paris Club provided over ninety-nine percent of their HIPC debt relief to post-completion-point HIPCs. This is more than 85 percent (multilateral 48 percent and Paris Club 37 percent) of total HIPC debt relief costs to post-completion point countries. Most members of the Paris Club have voluntarily committed to provide additional debt relief beyond HIPC.
