text: countries will depend on agreement on practical measures to reduce debt and debt servicing in proportion to the capacity of developing countries to honour their financial commitments while ensuring their own development. The Brady plan, for example, is limited to diminishinq the debt of middle-income countries with commercial debts, while the Toronto option a,ly affects the least developed countries, particularly in the sub-Saharan region. But there is a third category which is a forgotten ooe: the middle-income countries burdened with mostly official debts. It is this category -in which Egypt finds itself -that has not seen any reduction in its debt. Although States belonging to this category have been reclassified by the World Bank according to the volume of their debt and set aside as a group that has failed to win international concern, they have not yet benefited from help from the international community, in particular from the creditor countries and international financial institutions. This category has an urgent need for arrangements to reduce its debt and alleviate its burden. Therefore, we are proposinq an expansion of the definition of the countries that benefit from the Toronto option to cover middle-income countries that suffer from an enormous debt burden. Those countries will be able to choose from one of the three options contained in the Toronto consensus as they have their debts rescheduled within the context of the Paris Club. 11 ii . I . I )'• ~.

analysis: The text discusses the debt burden of developing countries, specifically middle-income countries with mostly official debts, and proposes an expansion of the definition of the Toronto option to cover these countries. The focus is on finding a solution to alleviate the debt burden and ensure the development of these countries. This suggests that the text is related to economic development, as it addresses the financial and economic challenges faced by these countries.
