Produktbeschreibung
The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative boasts of the largest amounts of debt forgiveness in recent history. The program has received as much acclaim as it has criticism. Its efficacy in restoring access to credit markets for poor indebted countries has been doubted.
