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 1, English, - topping%2Dup%20debt%20relief

Pour les pays qui ont atteint le point d'achèvement, mais continuent d'être surendettés en raison de facteurs exogènes, la communauté internationale peut envisager d'accorder un allègement de dette complémentaire («topping-up») à titre exceptionnel, au-delà du montant engagé au point de décision. 5, record 1, French, - all%C3%A8gement%20de%20dette%20compl%C3%A9mentaire
