Abstract
To support the IMF Catastrophe, Containment and Relief Trust (CCRT), which provides debt relief to low-income countries that are hit by catastrophic natural disasters or public health emergencies. This will help the poorest countries to manage the health impacts and economic disruption of the COVID19 global pandemic. The CCRT helps the poorest countries by covering the cost of their debt repayments owed to the IMF. This means that national budgets are freed up to spend on addressing natural disasters or health emergencies.
