Later today the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a bill that would support the cancellation of Haiti’s remaining debt to international financial institutions. The Debt Relief for Earthquake Recovery in Haiti Act of 2010 (HR 4573) has passed the House Financial Services committee and it is expected to pass the vote on the House floor. A similar measure (S.2961) was passed by the Senate on March 5th.
These bills directs the secretary of the Treasury to instruct the United States executive directors at the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and other multilateral development institutions to use the voice, vote and influence of the United States to cancel immediately and completely Haiti’s debts to such institutions.
