About 85% of that is in arrears, Reuters said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sudan deserved credit for implementing what she called a \u201crobust economic reform program\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday\u2019s arrears clearance was \u201can action that will move Sudan one step closer to securing much-needed debt relief and help the nation reintegrate into the international financial community,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">World Bank President David Malpass said the move meant Sudan could now access nearly $2 billion in grants from the Bank\u2019s International Development Association (IDA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearing the arrears, which date back to the years of ousted autocrat Omar al-Bashir and earlier, was made possible through a $1.15 billion bridge loan from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president of the bank, David Malpass, considered in a statement that the move constitutes a breakthrough for Sudan, which puts it on a path of sustainable debt relief, economic revitalization, and comprehensive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the payment of late payments to Sudan has become possible through a temporary loan of $1.15 billion from the US government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malpass said the move means Sudan can now access $2 billion in grants from the International Development Association (IDA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sudan\u2019s Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim said clearance of the arrears would enable the country to secure financing from the World Bank Group and other multilateral institutions and move forward with transformative development projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are thankful to the U.S. government for facilitating this clearance process, which also supports our drive towards more comprehensive debt relief,\u201d Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnreport.com\/sudanese-pound\/\">Sudanese Pound Floating Restores Citizen-Bank Relationship<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sudan expects that the World Bank to grant it $2 billion over the next two years to support its development projects.
