This workshop gives an in-depth introduction to the current debt sustainability framework for low-income countries (LIC-DSF) and the tools available to assist with debt sustainability in French-speaking African low-income countries. The framework helps guide countries and donors in mobilizing the financing of LICs' development needs, while reducing the chances of an excessive build-up of debt in the future. Sessions combine lectures on key features with demonstrations of the modules of the excel-based LIC-DSF framework covering linkages between the macroeconomic framework and debt dynamics, realism tools, stress tests, debt carrying capacity thresholds, the role of judgment, and the determination of final ratings.
The objective of the five-day workshop is to present the key features of the revised framework and provide hands-on training in the use of the new LIC DSF template. Participants will have an opportunity to work through a country case study and analyze the output of the LIC DSF template to better understand debt vulnerabilities.
