In 2002, the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF") Executive Board and the Republic agreed on a stand-by
arrangement for 2002-2004 (the "2002-2004 Stand-By Arrangement"), which provides for international lending of up

repayments due in 2004 was deferred to 2005 and a total of $7 billion due in 2005 was deferred to 2006. The sixth
tranche in the amount of SDR 340.2 (at the time of the release, approximately $502 million) was released by the IMF
