Started in 1996, the Initiative was enhanced in 1999 as an outcome of a comprehensive review by IDA [International Development Association] and the IMF [International Monetary Fund], including public consultations. The Initiative's debt-burden thresholds were adjusted downward, which enabled a broader group of countries to qualify for larger volumes of debt relief. Moreover, a number of creditors, including the main multilaterals, started to provide earlier assistance to qualifying countries in the form of interim relief at decision point. Finally, the “floating completion point” was introduced, providing incentives to speed up reforms and increase country ownership, 2, record 3, English, - Enhanced%20HIPC%20Initiative

Grants reduce the probability of poor countries experiencing debt distress. As we are seeing in the cases of Niger and Ethiopia, countries’ debt levels remain at unsustainable levels, despite HIPC [Heavily Indebted Poor Countries] debt relief and additional "topping-up" assistance. Grants free up scarce public resources, which would otherwise have been used to pay off outstanding loan commitments. These resources can be used to fund the kind of productive investments ... such as infrastructure improvements and agricultural programs, which contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. 2, record 8, English, - topping%2Dup%20debt%20relief
