@DeboraRevoltel1: EMDE facing liquidity issues. The question revolves around how to reduce debt service while creating products targeted at public goods. Concessional & nature-oriented instruments (Sustainability-Linked bonds or Climate-Related Clauses) display strong potential.

Are eurobond markets the solution for the future? We need more sustainable and green debt instruments to attract new investors, but @StarlaGriffin warns they might complicate #debtrestructuring. Finding a trade-off is crucial as we aim for a paradigm shift. #finance #investing

After HIPC/MDRI, discussions on fin. for SSA supported more private sector involvement. The #GlobalFinancialCrisis shifted things, w/ China as an alternative. QE made liquidity available globally, but no real follow-up on fund usage, leading to today's challenges @starlagriffin
