“We have very good news from the IMF executive board today. A decision on a financing plan to mobilize resources for the Fund's share of debt relief for Somalia. This is a global effort, mobilizing countries rich and poor, big and small to achieve a very important objective: clearing the debt of a country that for the last 30 years has experienced the tragedy of war and destruction. But today, because of the will of its people and its government is turning a page, reforming its economy, bringing its society together. And I am proud that the International Monetary Fund is a partner in supporting Somalia. Very grateful to all our shareholders for their generosity, to clear the obstacles for Somalia to move forward..”
