19 August - Eurodad Paper on Debt in Developing Countries
Brussels-based organisation Eurodad has published a discussion paper which analyses the evolving nature of debt in developing countries and investigates currently available solutions for change. In a context where developing country debt is increasing, despite taking a relative downward path between 2000 and 2010, this report aims to figure out the reasons behind this debt burden increase, analyse the risk of new debt crises and to examine the changing nature of the type of debt countries are now facing. It also makes recommendations for sustainable and progressive solutions to prevent further debt crises and to improve policy processes of crisis resolution and management.
