Consolidation Counseling WE WILL NOT BE MOVED, SAY CAMPAIGNERS

Credit Card Debt "We will not settle for the half measures they seem so proud of. We want them to know that we will not go away until they have cancelled 100 percent of the debts of the poorest countries."

Debt Free Solution She was referring to the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), launched by the IMF and World Bank in 1996 with the aim of ridding 41 of the world's poorest countries - mostly in Africa - of the bulk of their debt. But the initiative has stalled, caught in a tangle of over-complex conditions required of countries who wanted debt relief and an unwillingness by many rich countries to stump up the cash for the scheme.

Debt Negotiation Services HIPC was overhauled at a Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Cologne last year but there has still been little progress. Only 10 countries have so far entered the process but are still unlikely to see any serious debt reduction for some years.

Debt Solution Company Only one country - Uganda - has completed the process but it's finance minister Gerald Ssendaula told Reuters last week many creditor countries had still failed to honor their side of the agreement to cancel debt.

Debt Elimination Services Many other HIPC hopefuls were also at the IMF meetings in Prague to protest about the lack of real action on the issue.

Debt Reduction The G7 has pledged to get 20 countries into the process by the end of the year but Jubilee 2000 says they still have to jump through too many hoops to get a big cut in their debts.

Debt Solution Inc CANADA SUGGESTS MORATORIUM

Debt Settlement Services Canadian Finance Minister Paul Martin urged creditor countries to freeze poor country debt repayments as a way of speding up HIPC.

Debt Relief "Why should we not consider an immediate moratorium on debt payments from the eligible HIPC reforming countries?" he told a meeting of the IMF's International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC).

Christian Debt Solution Campaigners were initially excited until it became clear Martin was only referring to the 10 countries which have already qualified for HIPC and only to bilateral debt payments, which are in any case supposed to cease at decision point.

Counseling Credit Debt Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown made the same point to a press conference.

Debt Consolidation Program The IMFC meeting backed a recent IMF/World Bank statement in which the two bodies promised to try to be more flexible with the HIPC conditionality as a way of speeding the process up.

Debt Reduction Solution Credit "What we have done, because we recognise the need for speedy implementation, without removing the conditionality, is decide on measures that can get more countries through...we believe we can get 20 countries through by the end of the year," Brown told Reuters after the meeting.

Debt Collection Services But that was not good enough for Jubilee 2000.

Credit Card Debt Solution "We are angry and deeply disappointed... the credibility of this initiative has evaporated. Finance ministers seem incapable of understanding that the poorest countries are effectively insolvent and need a 100 percent cut in debt service, not the one third that is on offer," said Pettifor.

Card Counseling Credit Debt Bono, lead singer of rock group U2 and a key supporter of Jubilee 2000, was set to meet new IMF chief Horst Koehler on Monday to put the case for debt relief. Koehler has pledged to speed up HIPC and then go beyond it.
