Description
A panel discussion on the challenges faced by countries with sovereign debt issues due to war, political instability, inflation, depreciating currencies, or shortages of basic commodities. This session will highlight the current practical and legal limitations in resolving sovereign debt defaults, from asset tracking and enforcement to use of centralised restructuring strategies and legal regimes as alternative solutions to prevent or mitigate sovereign debt defaults.
