The year 2000's per capita GDP is estimated to have increased to $222; in the mid-1980s, it was $120. With a high foreign debt (originally $5.7 billion at 1998 net present value) and a good track record on economic reform, Mozambique was the second African country to receive debt relief under the HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Country) Initiative.

BANGLADESH

Assessed on the basis of disbursed outstanding principal, Bangladesh's external public debt was $15.8 billion in fiscal year 2001, an 11 percent rise from fiscal year 2000. Because virtually all of the debt was provided on highly concessional terms by bilateral and multilateral donors, the net present value of the total outstanding debt is significantly lower than its face value.

HONDURAS

In October 2001, the IMF approved Honduras' third-year PRGF, and along with the World Bank, the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, which makes Honduras eligible for interim debt relief and qualify for $556 million in debt relief in present value terms or $900 million in nominal terms at its completion point in December 2002. Some key conditions of the new PRGF include controlling public sector wages, submitting legislation to reform the civil service, and financial legislation to limit the personal liability of bank regulators and halting the real appreciation of its currency.
