 4-5 September 2019  Paris, France
This Public Debt Management Conference was organised by the Public Debt Management Network, an initiative fostered by the OECD, the Italian Treasury and The World Bank.
It brought together academics, policy makers (debt managers, central bankers, regulators) and market practitioners (investors, dealers, market infrastructures’ managers) from all over the world to discuss challenging issues in the area of public debt management.
During the two days, high-quality papers selected by the conference's organising committee on key issues related to debt management and government bond markets were presented by their authors and followed by audience discussions.
