Dynamic discussion at the CSO Policy Forum! The costs of hidden debt to the economy & ordinary citizens are huge: public schools without funds, pensions not paid, bridges not built, to name a few.  Legal reform is critical for debt transparency! Watch:

Hot off the press: new IMF Legal Dept paper on legal foundations of public debt transparency!! Hidden sovereign debt remains a significant problem & laws of many countries hinder disclosure and accountability; legal reform is critical to solve the problem!
