The IMF’s review of the Debt Sustainability Framework (DSF), its analytical tool for conducing debt sustainability analysis (DSA), recommends the following:

  • More account to be taken of the impact of public investment on growth in DSAs,
  • Increased consideration of remittances in the determination of debt distress ratings,
  • Reducing the ‘threshold’ effects of changes in CPIA ratings,
  • Lowering the DSF discount rate from 5% to 4%,
  • Appling greater flexibility in treating state-owned enterprise external borrowings,
  • Taking more account of Government’s views in DSA documents.

The Fund has proposed a new matrix-type framework for determining borrowing limits in Fund programmes. Instead of the one-size fits all approach, the Fund proposes that nonconcessional borrowing limits reflect low income countries’ capacities, as measured by its CPIA rating, and its external debt distress rating resulting from the DSF DSAs.
