Indeed, it is evident that IMF has consistently underestimated the loss of GDP for Greece, lowering its projections by 6.9 per cent since its first review of the stand- by arrangement in September 2010. In June 2013, IMF admitted that it had underestimated the impact of austerity measures on the country’s economy and debt sustainability.36 Furthermore, failures with the privatization programme – the trend to date – would also raise the debt-to-GDP ratio.37 38.

Burundi arguably has the most complex consociational arrangement in the world. As with all such arrangements, it seeks to reconcile majority claims with minority rights, in this A/HRC/30/42/Add.1 GE.15-13579 5/24 case, through a finely tuned set of arrangements that combine proportionality with minority overrepresentation.

(...) (h) A transitional services waiver arrangement: The LDC services waiver is a new mechanism made available to and yet barely utilised by the next wave of graduates.
