It finds that the Enhanced HIPC initiative cut debt ratios in half for 18 countries, but in eight of these countries, the ratios have come to once again exceed HIPC thresholds. Debt reduction alone is not a sufficient instrument to affect the multiple drivers of debt sustainability. Sustained improvements in export diversification, fiscal management, the terms of new financing, and public debt management are also needed, measures that fall outside the ambit of the HIPC initiative.Independent evaluation studies.Debt reliefDeveloping countriesDebts, ExternalDeveloping countriesDebt reliefDebts, External336.3/6Lala Shonar1973-1718467World Bank.Independent Evaluation Group.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809081803321Debt relief for the poorest4115461UNINA
