To accelerate progress, the G8 finance ministers agreed in June 2005 to provide enough funds to the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) to cancel $40 to $55 billion in debt owed by members of the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) to allow them to redirect resources to programs for improving health and education and for alleviating poverty.
为加快目标的实现，八国集团经济部长在2005年6月同意向世界银行、国际货币基金组织和非洲开发银行提供足够资金以替重债穷国还清400至550亿美元的债务，使其能够重新将资源投入到改善健康、教育以及缓解贫困上来。
