Shocks are hitting low-income countries more often—and too often turning into debt crises.

"Better Debt Shock Absorbers for Poor Countries: A Proposal"

@CGDev

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

When shocks hit, poor countries are forced to choose: service debt or respond to the crisis.

@Nancyb_Lee, @LRojasSuarez, Samuel Matthews, and James Reid propose built-in “shock absorbers” in debt contracts—pausing payments to create fiscal space and help avoid default.

BRICS among the countries benefitting most from Trumps changes in tariffs following Supreme Court decision. @LRojasSuarez & Alba calculated effective tariff rates: 10% rate + (tariffs on steel etc)*(how much countries export). 45 line shows no change.

Digital financial inclusion has the power to transform lives—but LMICs remain excluded from these vital services.

@LRojasSuarez introduces a new course to help policymakers identify country-specific barriers using an analytical decision tree framework. Learn more:

[FinDev Gateway @FinDevGateway]

"Although numerous factors can constrain financial inclusion, a key challenge for policymakers is diagnosing the country-specific root causes of these shortcomings and determining which actions to prioritize. That’s the gap the Decision Tree fills."

🌳 Learn more about the Decision Tree framework in this FinDev interview with @CGDev's Liliana Rojas-Suarez.

@FinDevGateway It was a pleasure to discuss the Decision Tree for Improving Digital Financial Inclusion with @FinDevGateway. At @CGDev, we hope that policymakers find this online course to be a powerful tool for identifying the binding constraint hindering progress in financial inclusion.

To increase digital financial inclusion, policymakers need to understand the constraints specific to their country. A new course from @LRojasSuarez teaches an analytical framework (a decision tree) for doing just that.

Waves of US tariffs have created a complex trade landscape—but announced rates don't necessarily reflect the true tariff burden.
