Spring Meetings

Description:This session will highlight the new World Bank Group approach to debt-for-development swaps. This innovative model can help countries replace expensive debt with cheaper financing and generate fiscal savings that can be applied toward development goals - without the hefty financial, administrative and transaction costs that are traditionally associated with these swaps. The panel will discuss how countries can take advantage of this opportunity by highlighting the recent successful application of the approach in Cote d’Ivoire. *Watch Event|https://meetingslogin.worldbank.org/en/asmeeting/event-detail/ems1852270*
