THE DEBT PROBLEM Sample Clauses

THE DEBT PROBLEM. The success of the strategy adopted by the authorities inevitably depends on a satisfactory resolution of the external debt problem and on the restoration of the Republic’s international creditworthiness. One of the conditions for the country’s development will indeed be its capacity to attract the necessary foreign investment and to encourage the growth of national saving. The debt sustainability analyses (DSA) prepared by the IMF and the World Bank to support the determination of eligibility of the Republic to the HIPC Initiative — a preliminary DSA prepared in 2004 and the final DSA of January 31, 2006 in support of the proposed adoption of the decision point — bring into xxxxx relief the unsustainable level of the Republic of Congo’s external indebtedness and the significant obstacle it poses to the implementation of the poverty reduction strategy – as well as to reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the set of objectives designed to improve living standards as defined by the Millennium Declaration by the Member States of the United Nations (UN). At the end of 2004, nominal debt represented almost 200% of GDP, more than 230% of exports of goods and services, and close to 615% of the country’s tax revenues, one of the highest such ratios in the world. In net present value (NPV) terms, these ratios were only marginally lower as most of the debt had been contracted on commercial terms. The simulations provided by these analyses also indicate that the traditional mechanisms of debt reduction (the so-called “Naples Terms”) would fall well short of allowing the Republic to reach the debt sustainability thresholds set by the indicators retained for the HIPC Initiative. The debt/budget revenue ratio would have declined to only 370% at the end of 2004, compared with a maximum target of 150% under the HIPC Initiative. It is these considerations, combined with the performance of the Republic under the PRGF program, that led the international community, in March 2006, to approve the eligibility of the Republic to the “decision point” under the HIPC Initiative, and therefore to launch the process of alleviating the country’s external debt burden. The April 2006 additional relief by the Paris Club was granted on these bases. The decisions of the Paris Club are nevertheless conditional upon the granting by other creditors of conditions at least as favorable as the Club’s, and this participation in the joint effort is, in any event, required by the need to ...

  • Problem/ Solution Statement Problem California’s forest health crisis is an emergency of unprecedented scope and scale, with disastrous implications for the state’s environment, economy, energy systems, and human life. Unlike essentially all other technologies and solutions proposed to respond to the crisis, gasification has the potential to process forest waste in a way that extracts value and sequesters a large portion of its carbon. Before the recipient’s development of the pre- commercial Powertainer technology, no one had developed gasification technology that could economically respond to the problem. As a result, there have not yet been any large-scale deployments of distributed, commercial-scale gasification technology. The acceleration of tree mortality and persistent drought conditions make finding solutions to this problem more critical with each passing day.

  • How to Request an External Appeal If you remain dissatisfied with our medical appeal determination, you may request an external review by an outside review agency. In accordance with §27-18.9-8, your external appeal will be reviewed by one of the external independent review organizations (IRO) approved by the Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner. The IRO is selected using a rotational method. Your claim does not have to meet a minimum dollar threshold in order for you to be able to request an external appeal. To request an external appeal, submit a written request to us within four (4) months of your receipt of the medical appeal denial letter. We will forward your request to the outside review agency within five (5) business days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then we will send it within two (2) business days. We may charge you a filing fee up to $25.00 per external appeal, not to exceed $75.00 per plan year. We will refund you if the denial is reversed and will waive the fee if it imposes an undue hardship for you. Upon receipt of the information, the outside review agency will notify you of its determination within ten (10) calendar days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then you will be notified within seventy-two (72) hours. The determination by the outside review agency is binding on us. Filing an external appeal is voluntary. You may choose to participate in this level of appeal or you may file suit in an appropriate court of law (see Legal Action, below). Once a member or provider receives a decision at one of the several levels of appeals noted above, (reconsideration, appeal, external), the member or provider may not ask for an appeal at the same level again, unless additional information that could affect such decisions can be provided.
