The programs are tailored to the countries to effectively respond to the health, economic, and social shocks that that country are facing. On May 1 the Bank marked the start of an official bilateral debt payment suspension for International Development Association (IDA) countries, those that request forbearance. It is an initiative launched with the International Monetary Fund (IMF’s) Managing Director in March and it was quickly endorsed by the G20 countries. 2020-09-18T15:11:35Z 2020-09-18T15:11:35Z 2020-05-19 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/111691600066978864/Remarks-by-World-Bank-Group-President-David-Malpass-During-Press-Call-on-100-Countries-Milestone-for-COVID-19-Coronavirus-Emergency-Health-Support http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34489 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: President's Speech
