Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of forgiving Rwanda’s international debt.
The FCDO regularly discusses macroeconomic and debt issues with the Rwandan authorities and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Rwanda is on track with its IMF policy coordination programme, and the latest IMF debt sustainability analysis assesses Rwanda as having a strong debt-carrying capacity, and a moderate risk of debt distress.
