Debt Swap is one of the funding mechanism developed as debt relief. This report "Exchanging Debt for Development:
Lessons from the Egyptian Debt-for-Development Swap Experience" describes and evaluates one feasible approach in Egypt: the debt-for-development exchange, or debt swap. It is designed as a contribution to the discussions related to the feasibility and viability of using debt swaps for socio-economic development with an emphasis on implications and outcomes of emerging and innovative information and communication technology (ICT) projects. The report capitalizes on a decade of Egyptian experience; it compares and contrasts two models: the Egyptian-Italian Swap and the Egyptian-Swiss Swap. It summarizes the challenges, opportunities, lessons learned and implications for future domestic and international implementations.
Please note that a copy of
the study will be distributed at the entrance of the
workshop taking place on 16 November 2005.
