Correct answer: Both 1 and 2. The G20 Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) was introduced in November 2020 to help low-income countries (LICs) manage unsustainable debt burdens caused by eco- nomic shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic. Statement 1 is correct: The G20 Common Framework was jointly developed by the G20 and the Paris Club, a group of ma- jor creditor nations that coordinate debt relief efforts. It aims to provide debt restructuring, relief, and sustainability mea- sures for eligible countries. Statement 2 is correct: The Common Framework focuses on low-income countries (LICs) with high debt burdens, par- ticularly those eligible for the International Development Association (IDA) assistance. It allows for case-by-case debt restructuring, ensuring that LICs can stabilize their economies and recover from financial crises. 29
