PEER-LEARNING WEBINAR SERIES ON FISCAL AND PUBLIC DEBT ISSUES IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Over the past two decades, shocks have led to a significant deterioration of fiscal positions and a sharp increase in public debt globally. Such issues are also a key concern in Asia and the Pacific. Starting with an event on the future of fiscal policy, the series will take stock of fiscal developments and the current fiscal policy setting in Asia and the Pacific and cover issues of debt-sustainability, revenue mobilization, expenditure rationalization and public financial management, macro-framework tools for fiscal policy, debt management and restructurings, fiscal frameworks, and communication and investor relations. The series will bring together staff from the Asia and Pacific and the Fiscal Affairs Departments, the Institute of Capacity Development, other IMF Departments, and government officials from the region and is organized jointly by the IMF-Singapore Regional Training Institute (STI) and the IMF Office for Asia and the Pacific (OAP).

The series will be open to the public and media.
