The Participating Creditor Countries understand that the Boards of the International Monetary Fund and of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development intend to consider in 1999 enhancement to the Debt Initiative for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries.

Pullback clause

The Participating Creditor Countries reserve the right to review the implementation of the conditions [...] for the comparability of treatment between all external creditors ; if the Participating Creditor Countries determine that these conditions are not substantially fulfilled, or that the Government of the Republic of Mozambique has not met its payments obligations as specified in the present Agreed Minute, the provisions [...] of the present Agreed Minute will become null and void

In order to secure comparable treatment of its debt due to all its external public or private creditors, the Government of the Republic of Mozambique commits itself to seek promptly from all its external creditors debt reduction and reorganization arrangements on terms comparable in net present value to those set forth in the present Agreed Minute for credits of comparable maturity. Comparability of treatment for debt reduction in net present value is assessed not only on the basis of the reduction in the face value of the debt but also on the terms of repayment of the debts not cancelled.

Consequently, the Government of the Republic of Mozambique commits itself to accord all categories of creditors -and in particular creditor countries not participating in the present Agreed Minute, commercial banks and suppliers- a treatment not more favourable than that accorded the Participating Creditor Countries.

For the purpose of the comparison between the arrangements concluded by the Government of the Republic of Mozambique with its creditor countries not listed in the present Agreed Minute on the one hand, and with the Participating Creditor Countries on the other hand, all relevant elements will be taken into account, including the real exposure of the creditor countries not listed in the present Agreed Minute, the level of cash payments received by those creditor countries from the Government of the Republic of Mozambique as compared to their share in the Republic of Mozambique's external debt, the nature and characteristics of all treatment applied, including debt buy backs, and all characteristics of the reorganized claims and in particular their repayment terms whatever forms they take and in general the financial relations between the Government of the Republic of Mozambique and the creditor countries not listed in the present Agreed Minute.

The Government of the Republic of Mozambique will inform in writing the Chairman of the Paris Club not later than June 30, 2000 of the progress made for this purpose in negotiations with other creditors. It will inform afterwards on a semi annual basis, the Chairman of the Paris Club of the status of its relationships with other creditors.
