W: There is discussion of England and the United States now pushing to forgive the debt of the poorest countries in the world. Do you think that’s a good idea?
M: I think it’s a good idea. I mean, the world has already done a big, big effort to forget debt to countries heavily indebted and with low income. And that has given good chances to countries to get out of poverty.
W: Aren’t you afraid that might set a bad example, and moreover, be unfair to countries that have handled their debt responsibly?

But to be able do that, those low-income countries have to get into programs with the IMF to be able to complete that process. And so there ... they change their economies, they liberalize their economies; they have sound financial and banking rules and systems. The help they’re going to get from international solidarity will not be wasted.
W: No worry at all? I mean ...
M: We’re human beings.
