Objective and Scope
- Proposes a targeted modification to the Transparency Policy to permit certain deletions across market access Country Documents rather than on a case-by-case basis.
- Motivation: the new Debt Sustainability Framework for Market Access Countries (MAC SRDSF) produces output shared with the Board that must be deleted from Country Documents prior to publication.
Specific MAC SRDSF output proposed for deletion before publication
- (i) the near-term risk assessment;
- (ii) when debt is assessed to be sustainable, the qualification "with high probability" or "but not with high probability", unless such qualification is required for use of Fund resources;
- (iii) the mechanical signal on debt sustainability.
Policy implication
- The paper seeks authorization to apply these deletions uniformly across market access Country Documents to reflect the MAC SRDSF requirements.
