Private institutions, such as research centres, universities, banks and other financial institutions can also apply to join the network. The network offers a multilateral approach to public debt management policies and techniques under the aegis of the OECD WPDM and the Italian Treasury.

The menu bar at the left hand site gives a good idea about the broad range of policy topics. Members of the network include debt managers, financial policy makers, multilateral institutions, research institutions, and financial institutions. Continuous information exchange and interactive features support an intensive and comprehensive electronic policy dialogue.
