The Southern Centre for Inequality Studies' Public Economy Project (PEP) invite you to a webinar on Sovereign Debt on 7 Dec '23, 14:30 - 16:30 (SAST)
Join our upcoming seminar to learn about Sub-Saharan Africa's escalating public debt crisis. Explore the impact of global economic shifts and the COVID-19 pandemic on the
region's debt levels, now nearing 60% of GDP. Discover how African nations are navigating these challenges amidst limited revenue-generating capabilities, rising debt service
costs, and volatile commodity markets. Engage in critical discussions on strategies for sustainable debt management and economic resilience. In conversation will be Leslie Mensah, Economist/Research Fellow, Institute for Fiscal Studies (Ghana), Bernard Njiri, Senior Research Analyst, Institute of Public Finance (Kenya) and Rashaad Amra, Visiting Researcher, Public Economy Project (South Africa).
