When developing countries negotiate debt relief from their Paris Club creditors, including under the HIPC initiative, they are also required to seek comparable terms from their non-Paris Club bilateral creditors. However these negotiations are on a creditor-by-creditor basis and so information on the relief or restructuring terms is not so readily available. As part of its work with developing countries, DFI has complied information on non-Paris Club debt relief provided under HIPC and on conducting debt conversions.

To assist countries to maximise their debt restructuring or relief from non-Paris Club creditors, DFI has developed detailed training materials and manuals, conducted research and analysis and provides advisory services.
