This Reuter's article on the impending Nigerian debt deal sites Research Fellow
Todd Moss. Dr. Moss heads the Center's initiative on
Debt Relief for Nigeria.
From the article:
"
The whole point of the PSI is so they can go to the Paris Club to negotiate the debt," he said, adding that negotiators "are looking for the IMF to give them the thumbs up."
The Center for Global Development, an independent think tank based in Washington, has recommended that Nigeria be eligible for Paris Club debt forgiveness, and lobbied for the type of debt buy-back proposal agreed to in June.
Moss said the tentative deal seemed fair for all parties.
