The Public Debt Management Network is pleased to announce the first Public Debt Management Conference. It will be held on September 4-5, 2019 at the OECD’s Headquarters in Paris, France.

In an environment of high debt burdens and tighter financial conditions, the conference aims at promoting dialogue among policy makers, academics and market practitioners to encourage knowledge sharing and dissemination of best practices in public debt management.

A formal invitation and registration package will follow.
