“In Washington, I am holding important meetings with officials from international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF to discuss the completion of Somalia’s financial reform process in the coming days.We are committed to advancing the debt-forgiveness process in Somalia which we have come a long way through. ” Said the Somali Minister of Finance, Dr. Beyle.
