Course overview
What renders a country’s debt unsustainable? How do we evaluate the debt sustainability of external and public debt? How do countries manage their debt portfolio? The Debt Sustainability Analysis online course aims to answer all of these questions and more. With this course, you’ll get an extensive overview of a medium-term debt management strategy and debt sustainability analysis (DSA).
Spanning six weeks, the Debt Sustainability Analysis programme will first tackle the main principles of debt analysis.
