Indeed, there is a compelling case to be made for Indonesian debt relief in any case, given that much of the debt was incurred in loans to the corrupt Suharto government. Lenders knew, or should have known, that not all of the money was going to help Indonesian development.
实际上，无论如何印尼债务负担的减免都需要尽早提上议程，因为这么多债务都是腐败的苏哈托政府欠下的。债主们清楚，或是应该清楚并不是所有的钱都会用于印尼的发展。另外，有些债务是在1997－1998年危机中欠下的，而国际货币基金组织的政策又加重了这样的债务负担。
