Paris Club Cancels 99% of Somalia’s Debt

The Paris Club announced the cancellation of 99% of Somalia's debt, with major creditor nations agreeing to waive US$2 billion effective January 2023 and Somalia becoming eligible for up to $4.5 billion of relief under the HIPC Initiative in December. The announcement drew optimism from Somali ministers, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and the British ambassador, while an economist at the Heritage Institute stressed the need for domestic revenue generation and infrastructure-focused investment.
