Despite criticism of the G20 common framework on debt restructuring, van Trotsenburg says it's the best way to bring creditors to the table. "This is a difficult process, but it is the necessary process to bring all groups together. There is, I think, no alternative but to continue working with all the creditor groups, try to understand what their issues are, but also make the case for poor countries. The World Bank, at the end of the day [wants these countries to] reset their debt situation so they can refocus on poverty measures, provide more funding for education and health," he said.
