The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to write off the $3.3bn (£1.89bn) owed to it by all but one of the 20 poorest countries in the world. It has delayed granting debt relief to Mauritania until it makes “satisfactory progress in a few policy areas”…
Mauritania, meanwhile, is likely to meet the criteria for the write-off “relatively soon”, said Mr Dawson.“Mauritania will qualify for relief and receive it once it demonstrates satisfactory progress on some policy areas that have been identified,” he said.
