The topics for the conference are:

Assessing debt sustainability in the post-COVID environment

Demand for government securities in the long term

- including the role of i) Investor base behaviour; ii) Impact-linked instruments; and ii) Credit rating assessments.

Debt management (re)actions during crisis times

- such as the introduction of new issuance techniques and instruments, targeting specific investor segments, and the use of cash buffers.

Proposals addressing these or other topics relevant to public debt management are welcome.

Extended Deadline to submit proposals: November 26, 2021.
