Course Description

This workshop, presented by the Legal Department, offers public officials a forum to share their experience with corporate and household insolvency law reform and implementation, as well as such related issues as enforcement of claims and alternative techniques for the treatment of distressed debt. The global financial crisis and the subsequent national crises have brought to the forefront the need for effective insolvency regimes, and many countries already have or are planning insolvency reforms to address the consequences of changes in the economic environment. The interactive format of this workshop is designed for policy makers from a diverse group of countries dealing with corporate and household insolvency issues, leading international experts, and representatives of the Legal and other functional and area departments, the World Bank, and other international organizations.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Assess how policy objectives and technical solutions interact in corporate and household insolvency and other related areas.
• Identify trends for the future development of insolvency legislation.
• Extract lessons from positive and negative experiences in selected countries.
