Revised debt tools for development finance

Kristalina Georgieva, managing director at IMF, highlights that better debt tools can support development financing while managing vulnerabilities.

She emphasizes that the revised LIC-DSF offers sharper assessments, improved recognition of domestic debt risks, and takes long-term development and climate challenges into account.

Georgieva has previously noted that rising food prices driven by conflict are forcing governments to make difficult fiscal decisions, as reported in an earlier article. She has also reaffirmed that IMF support for Lebanon remains linked to progress on reforms and a sound fiscal framework, according to previous comments. These developments add context to her focus on debt tools and development financing.
