G30 Report Urges Vigilance and Offers Plan for Sovereign Debt Sustainability
— The G30 is excited to release their most recent report, Sovereign Debt and Financing for Recovery after the COVID-19 Shock: Next Steps to Build a Better Architecture. This report acknowledges that fewer emerging market governments defaulted on their debt than had been feared at the start of the pandemic, thanks to extraordinary domestic stimulus in the advanced economies.
