and poverty reduction, including a stable macroeconomic framework, transparent
and accountable systems of public finance, a sound business climate and a
predictable investment climate, and in this regard invites all creditors, both private
and public, to encourage those efforts, for example, through further participation in
the delivery of debt relief in the framework of the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor
Countries Initiative and continued provision of adequate and sufficiently
concessional financing by international financing institutions and the donor
community;

should be directed towards activities consistent with poverty eradication, sustained
economic growth and sustainable development and the achievement of the
internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development
Goals, and in this regard urges countries to direct those resources freed through debt

factors at the international and national levels, emphasizes that country-specific
circumstances and the impact of external shocks should be taken into account in
debt sustainability analyses, underscores the fact that no single indicator should be
used to make definitive judgements about debt sustainability, and in this regard,
while acknowledging the need to use transparent and comparable indicators, invites
the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, in their assessment of debt
sustainability, to take into account fundamental changes caused by, inter alia, natural
disasters, conflicts, changes in global growth prospects or in the terms of trade,
especially for commodity-dependent developing countries, and to continue to
provide information on this issue using existing cooperation forums, including those

Association that form part of the framework;
11. Welcomes the Gleneagles proposal by the Group of Eight, as endorsed by
the Bretton Woods institutions at their 2005 annual meetings, to cancel 100 per cent
of the debt owed by heavily indebted poor countries to the International Monetary
Fund, the International Development Association and the African Development
Fund and their emphasis that it should be expeditiously implemented by the
concerned multilateral financial institutions, also welcomes their efforts to proceed
with steps to ensure all necessary arrangements to implement the proposal and
ensure that the funds for this process are fully additional to existing aid

Development Fund, looks forward to the remaining heavily indebted poor countries
with unsustainable debt burdens, including countries that may enter the Heavily
Indebted Poor Countries Initiative process based on their debt burdens at the end of
2004, becoming eligible for such treatment as they reach the completion point,
emphasizes that the key element of the proposal is that debt relief will be fully
financed by donors to ensure that the financing capacity of international financial
institutions is not reduced, and in particular that the financial integrity and capacity
of the International Development Association and the African Development Bank to
assist developing countries in the future is maintained, and also emphasizes the
