The announcement comes as government delegations from more than 60 countries were to gather in London later this week for a conference on military and civilian aid to Afghanistan.
The IMF and World Bank said Afghanistan completed the long-running debt relief process by carrying out "a number of important reforms despite an extremely challenging environment characterized by insecurity, a food crisis, and a difficult political situation."
