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. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aDebt relief$zDeveloping countries 606 $aDebts, External$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aDebt relief 615 0$aDebts, External 676 $a336.3/6 700 $aLala$b Shonar$f1973-$01494737 701 $aRanganathan$b Rupa$01494738 701 $aLibresco$b Brett$01494739 712 02$aWorld Bank.$bIndependent Evaluation Group. 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bBAKER 801 2$bC#P 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783584303321 996 $aDebt relief for the poorest$93718455 997 $aUNINA
