1. Reporting on HIPC/MDRI Debt Relief Delivery by MDBs Luca Bandiera MDB Meeting on Debt Issues July 8 & 9, 2009

2. When last we met... Participants endorsed simplified approach to data collection/reporting – Clear rationale, context & objectives Captures – Aggregated data on country basis – Flows before & after HIPC/MDRI – NPV of debt & stock of debt in nominal terms – Arrears Either template (single worksheet) or own reporting format acceptable PRMED committed to process data and publish in Annual HIPC/MDRI Status of Implementation Report

3. What type of data? Debt service due before relief on debt outstanding at DP Debt service due before HIPC relief (historical and projected) HIPC relief (historical and projected) Debt service due after HIPC relief (historical and projected) End of period stock of debt outstanding, excluding arrears (to end-2008) before HIPC relief – Stock of principal arrears before HIPC relief – Stock of interest arrears before HIPC relief End of period stock of debt outstanding – Stock of principal arrears after HIPC relief – Stock of interest arrears after HIPC relief New disbursements for each year

4. Priority data for HIPC/MDRI report Original request made on 28 May Urgent request on 24 June for subset of original data: – Debt service due before relief on debt outstanding at DP – Debt service due before HIPC relief (historical and projected) – HIPC relief (historical and projected) In whatever format is most convenient We’ll process the data either way

5. Outcome? Out of the 25 MDBs that have committed or are delivering HIPC relief – 11 have provided data (44%) Of which, AfDB, IaDB, IMF & WB (a given) Therefore, only 7 newly compliant MDBs Accounting for 94% of committed relief – 14 have not reported Of which 4 have acknowledged and are in process of delivering (AFESD, CDB, IFAD & OFID) And 10 have not acknowledged request despite repeated reminders, etc. Doesn’t account for 8 uncommitted MDBs!

7. Status and next step All data received to date has been processed and will be an input for the HIPC/MDRI Status of Implementation Report for 2009 – Will publish with or without any outstanding data ‘Drop-dead’ deadline to submit is 14 July – No exceptions > subject to Bank internal review process Further processing of data, involving whole dataset, is planned

8. In sum Exercise more successful than past attempts Thankful for support received Critical mass in terms of committed relief has been achieved, BUT... not in terms of numbers of MDBs ‘collective action’ is the catchword and the goal – absence of data conspicuous A process that is likely to improve over time – and worthwhile to continue
