In 2016 the Medium Term Debt Management Strategy
(MTDS) 2016-2018 was approved. This strategy seeks to
make debt management and financing/refinancing an
integral part of the overall macroeconomic policy
framework
The MDTS sets benchmarks for key risk areas:
■ Foreign Currency Risk: 65% +/- 5% of external debt to
be US$ denominated
Interest Rate Risk: Floating rate debt not to exceed 20-
25% and hedging to lock-in lower rates
■ Re-Financing Risk: Short-term and maturing debt to
remain below 25% and Average Time to Maturity to be
not less than 6.5 years
