Decision Point

To reach decision point, countries should have a track record of macroeconomic stability, have prepared an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy through a participatory process, and cleared any outstanding arrears. The amount of debt relief necessary to bring countries’ debt indicators to HIPC thresholds is calculated, and countries begin receiving

debt relief on a provisional basis.
