Sustainable lending 

The OECD has agreed arrangements with the IMF and the World Bank aimed at keeping the debt levels of developing countries within acceptable proportions. This means that unlimited lending, particularly to governments of low-income countries, is not permitted. In the case of some of these countries, export credit may only be granted if the loan is accompanied by funding in full or part by Dutch development assistance (e.g. an ORIO funding). Please, consult our country policy on this.
