        system and further weaken its economy.
            (4) Significant arrears prevent Sudan from accessing 
        financing to combat the COVID-19 pandemic from the 
        International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the African 
        Development Bank.
    (b) Authorization.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
Secretary of the Treasury may instruct the United States executive 
director of an international financial institution to use the voice and 
vote of the United States to support assistance by such institution, 
including any loan, credit, or guarantee, for Sudan, provided that such 
assistance must be related to Sudan's response or recovery from the 
COVID-19 pandemic.
    (c) International Financial Institution Defined.--In this section, 
the term ``international financial institution'' means the 
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the 
International Development Association, the International Finance 
Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International 
Monetary Fund, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the
