Guidelines for Public Debt Management Accompanying Document and Selected Case Studies - Softcover

This report contains 18 case studies which illustrate how different countries, at varying stages of economic and financial development, are developing their public debt management capacity in line with the 'Guidelines for Public Debt Management' (2001, ISBN 1589060458). Issues discussed include: debt management strategy, objectives and co-ordination, transparency and accountability, institutional framework, risk management framework, and developing an efficient market for government securities.

This accompanying document to the Guidelines for Public Debt Management, which the IMF and the World Bank co-published in 2001, contains sample case studies that illustrate how a range of countries from around the world and at different stages of economic and financial development are developing their debt management capacity in a manner consistent with the guidelines. The experience of these countries is discussed in this publication, and should offer some useful and practical suggestions to other countries, as they strive to build their own capacity in public debt management.
