Conclusions from any statistics is 'subjective' but on a
first pass:-
 | For the 42 HIPCs, they still pay $6.8bn debt out of
$14.25bn aid (48%). |
| The Debtservice for the 52 J2000 countries is still
$23bn the same as it was when J2000 campaigned (actually
$23.037bn to $23.398bn -but the figures aren't that accurate) |
| On the basis of progress on MDGs and the HDI ranking,
the following countries shown yellow should be included -

| Any country with a low HDI or failing to meet MDGs should
not be spending money on debt payments. So Angola, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nepal,
Nigeria, Pakistan and Yemen should be seeing debt relief.
 | World Bank assertions that Angola, Kenya and Yemen have
'sustainable' debt burden misses the point! Poverty reduction and
human development should take precedence over debt payments. |
| Pakistan may be a special case with debt relief being
determined as a 'political' benefit! |
|
| Indonesia was included amongst the J2000 countries.
The UNDP assessment claims that Indonesia is on track to meet the MDGs. |
| Kyrgyz and Tajikistan are also classed as severely indebted
and there were reports that they would be included in HIPC. It would
seem that debt relief for these two countries is being considered within a
broader regional package CIS 7 see CIS7 |
