Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust—Review of Interest Rate Structure—Postponement, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed December 3, 2024

Summary

This paper proposes to postpone the next review of the PRGT interest rate structure to end-July 2025, given the desirability to consider all policies regarding low-income country facilities—including those related to PRGT interest rates—at once in the context of 2024/25 Review of the Fund’s Concessional Facilities and Financing. As a result of this postponement, the interest rates on all PRGT credit would be kept at zero until the completion of the next review.
