New Framework to Facilitate Voluntary Private Sector Involvement in the G20/Paris Club DSSI

"Throughout this entire process, the IIF has been adamant that creditors of every type and size have a role to play in making sure the world’s most vulnerable countries have the liquidity needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic," said Tim Adams, IIF President and CEO.

"These Terms of Reference represent the tireless efforts of the private sector to do the right thing. Though some challenges remain in terms of implementing the DSSI, we have had a very constructive dialogue with the public sector about these and feel confident that this process has resulted in a framework that will facilitate maximum cash flow relief, given numerous legal and practical constraints."
