Debt and Global Finance

IPD’s Debt and Global Finance theme encompasses work related to research and policy development related to the global financial architecture and debt sustainability. IPD experts develop research and policy recommendations focusing on issues such as taxation, sovereign debt, and international financial institutions. In particular, IPD has facilitated new publications related to the growing sovereign debt crisis being experienced by developing countries. Further, it has developed potential reforms to international lending practices, sovereign debt resolution processes, and legal frameworks in jurisdictions where debt is issued. IPD also convenes global leaders representing academia, international creditors, civil society, policymakers, and religious organizations to develop potential solutions and contribute to efforts to enact policy change that will reduce the ongoing debt crisis in the developing world.
