Today Sudan reached the HIPC Decision point, thus becoming the 38th country eligible to receive debt relief under the initiative, which was jointly launched by the World Bank and the IMF in 1996 to ensure no poor country faces a debt burden it cannot manage.

Partly owing to support measures, the unemployment rate rose only modestly to 4.1 percent, remaining the lowest in the region.
