HIPC DSA methodology
While the HIPC methodology for conducting debt strategy analysis has been designed for the purpose of evaluating a country’s eligibility for debt relief and the amount of relief to be provided under the HIPC initiative, it can also be used as the basis for designing a country’s overall debt strategy and policy. A HIPC DSA, conducted on loan-by-loan basis, can be used to assessed alternative scenarios for debt relief/restructuring, new external financing, domestic debt restructuring and new financing, and macroeconomic and development/poverty spending projections.
