Public debt, well managed, finances development; poorly managed, it threatens fiscal stability. This programme equips senior officials to set debt strategy and assess sustainability under stress, drawing on the medium-term debt strategy and debt-sustainability frameworks used by treasuries and debt offices worldwide.
Designed for director-level officials, the programme reflects international standards in debt governance, portfolio risk management, and sustainability analysis.
