#DebtCon7 Panel 2 wrapping up! @AvinashPersau15 challenges panelists on lack of debt restructurings despite high debt. @AndyPowell_Econ notes economic costs and suggests better debt management. State-contingent instruments could help avoid restructuring.

[Finance for Development Lab @FinDevLab]

@DeboraRevoltel1: EMDE facing liquidity issues. The question revolves around how to reduce debt service while creating products targeted at public goods. Concessional & nature-oriented instruments (Sustainability-Linked bonds or Climate-Related Clauses) display strong potential.

[Finance for Development Lab @FinDevLab]

@starlagriffin Are eurobond markets the solution for the future? We need more sustainable and green debt instruments to attract new investors, but @StarlaGriffin warns they might complicate #debtrestructuring. Finding a trade-off is crucial as we aim for a paradigm shift. #finance #investing

[Finance for Development Lab @FinDevLab]

After HIPC/MDRI, discussions on fin. for SSA supported more private sector involvement. The #GlobalFinancialCrisis shifted things, w/ China as an alternative. QE made liquidity available globally, but no real follow-up on fund usage, leading to today's challenges @starlagriffin

@DeboraRevoltel1 from @EIB highlights EIB's presence in EMDE. The institution lends €8.4bn outside of Europe, w/ €2.5bn allocated to Sub-Saharan #Africa. She emphasizes the importance of developing sector-based lending to overcome limitations of project-based lending.

Andrew Powell: "After a restructuring, growth bounces back especially if nominal haircuts were applied. But overall complementary fiscal reforms are required" @AndyPowell_Econ @DebtCon7

[Finance for Development Lab @FinDevLab]

Discussion and ownership of the programs, as well as IFI's support during #DebtRestructuring, were key to Portugal's experience but missing in Greece's debacle, shares Yannis Manuelides @ManuelidesY on his experience of each country's crisis.
