The Republic launched the Invitation to obtain the relief needed to regain the sustainability of the Republic’s external debt. The Republic has also proposed a comprehensive approach to address the financial situation that has given rise to the relief sought in the Invitation to its creditors under other foreign-currency denominated debt. On August 26, 2020, the Republic approached the International Monetary Fund with a view to initiating consultations seeking agreement on a new IMF-supported program to replace the 2018 Stand By Support Agreement.
