ESCWA, in cooperation with the Financial and Accounting Training Centre and the Public Debt Department of the Ministry of Finance of Iraq, is organizing a national workshop on developing debt optimization strategies. Bringing together the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, the workshop examines the current fiscal and public debt conditions in the country, discusses approaches to debt optimization and debt-related risk management to inform the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS), and explores options for strengthening the structure and cost-effectiveness of public borrowing.
The workshop aims to leverage ESCWA AI-powered Debt Optimization Platform (DOP) as an analytical tool to assess debt structure, borrowing costs, and debt-related risks and to compare debt portfolios with those of peers using global debt-market intelligence.
