The Government of the Republic of Suriname and the Participating Creditor Countries also committed to review the latest developments of the macroeconomic situation of the Republic of Suriname, in particular the existence of the prospects for oil revenues to adjust the conditions of the second phase of the treatment.

For that purpose, the Government of the Republic of Suriname commits to inform the Participating Creditor Countries before concluding a debt reorganization arrangement in order to allow the Participating Creditor Countries to assess whether the proposed terms of debt treatment are at least as favourable to those set forth in the Amendment dated 8 October 2024.
The Government of the Republic of Suriname commits itself not to accord any other official bilateral creditors or its external private creditors financial conditions of repayment assessed more favourable than those accorded to the Participating Creditor Countries.
Cut-off date:

Debt cancellation, the Federal Republic of Somalia having reached its Completion Point under the enhanced initiative for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (enhanced HIPC Initiative) on December 13, 2023
Categories of debt treated:
Treatment of the stock as of January 1, 2023
Repayment profile:
Treatment under HIPC Initiative Exit terms
In addition, Paris Club creditors confirmed their willingness to grant additional debt cancellation on a voluntary and bilateral basis for an amount of USD 815 million.
Comparability of treatment provision:
The Federal Republic of Somalia was declared eligible to the Enhanced HIPC Initiative by the IDA and the IMF in February 2020 and was declared to have reached its Completion Point in December 2023. In this context, the Federal Republic of Somalia commits to seek promptly from all its external creditors which are not participating in the Agreed Minutes dated March 13, 2024, their appropriate contribution in terms of debt relief to the Enhanced HIPC Initiative, on top of traditional debt relief mechanisms and consistent with the proportional burden sharing based on their relative exposure in net present value of total external debt at Decision Point after the full use of traditional debt relief mechanisms.
Whether the debt relief provided is appropriate will be assessed not only on the basis of the reduction in the net present value of the debt as computed under Appropriate Market Rate, but also on the terms of repayment of the debts not cancelled. For this purpose, all relevant elements will be taken into account, including the level of cash payments received by those creditors as compared to their share in the Federal Republic of Somalia’s external debt; the nature and characteristics of all treatment applied, including debt buy backs; all characteristics of the reorganized claims and in particular their repayment terms regardless of the forms they take; and, more generally, the financial relations between the Federal Republic of Somalia and all its other creditors.
Consequently, the Federal Republic of Somalia commits not to accord any category of external creditors -and in particular litigating creditors, creditor countries not participating in the Agreed Minutes dated March 13, 2024, commercial banks, suppliers and bondholders- a treatment more favourable than that accorded to the Participating Creditor Countries.

Repayment of all existing arrears as of end-2021 in two instalments in 2022 and 2024
Specific provisions:
Good will clause
Based on a future assessment that the Republic of Suriname has fulfilled all its commitments under the agreement, notably the comparability of treatment, and maintaining sound macroeconomic policies consistent with long-term debt sustainability, Paris Club creditors are committed to reschedule all maturities in capital falling due starting on 1 January, 2025. If the 2024 IMF assessment of the macroeconomic situation is consistent with the projections in the current EFF, the repayment schedule of rescheduled claims will be 17 years (including a 4-year grace period) for ODA claims and 12 years (including a 5-year grace period) for NODA claims from 1 December 2024.
This debt treatment will eventually allow the creditors to make additional efforts including through the conclusion of debt swaps, on a voluntary and bilateral basis, to support the country’s efforts in favour of environmental, social and governance goals.
The Republic of Suriname has committed to seek debt treatments at least as favourable from all other bilateral and external commercial creditors.
Comparability of treatment provision:
In order to secure comparable treatment of debts due to external public or private creditors, the Government of the Republic of Suriname commits itself to seek from its other official bilateral creditors and its external private creditors debt reorganization arrangements on terms at least as favourable as those set forth in the Agreed Minutes dated 22 June 2022 making sure to avoid discrimination among different categories of creditors.
