Many low-income or emerging countries suffer from heavy debt which hampers their capacity to invest in education, health, social protection and infrastructure. For some of them, the debt burden is already unsustainable. How can we better counter the risks of over-indebtedness? This question will be at the heart of a discussion which will look at the national reforms essential to stimulate growth, improve public spending policies, capture more tax revenue and strengthen debt management. The discussion will also emphasize the need for increased support from the international community, which involves concessional financing and technical assistance, but also an improvement in restructuring processes that will help ease the burden of debt in a timely and predictable manner.
Join us on October 12 for an event jointly organized by the IMF and the World Bank on the occasion of the 2023 Annual Meetings. Join the conversation: what can countries and their development partners do to together create resilient economies and a better future for all?
The event will be broadcast live from Marrakech in English, with simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, Spanish and French.
