Purpose

This external social media policy explains to users the rules of conduct within the areas governed by the PDM Network and indicates what content and what mode of relationship is to be expected from the PDM Network.
The PDM Network uses institutional and general interest social media to inform, communicate, listen, and to encourage participation, discussion and dialogue with users, with a view to transparency and sharing.

Content

Taking advantage of the opportunities that are typical of these services, the PDM Network can share and occasionally forward content and messages of public interest and usefulness originating with third parties on issues of sovereign debt in advanced and developing countries. In these cases the PDM Network limits itself to checking the reliability of the source but does not endorse the content.
