The 2024 IIF Global Debt and Financial Stability Roundtable, generously sponsored by Fitch Ratings, was held in Washington, D.C. on Friday, April 19, alongside the World Bank/IMF Spring Meetings. 

As in previous years, this roundtable gathered a distinguished array of participants: senior public officials from both mature and emerging market economies, prominent figures from the private financial sector, and leading voices from international financial institutions and academia. High-level discussions focused on recent developments in global debt markets and risks to financial stability. This year's event was particularly insightful, featuring renowned experts. It provided a dynamic platform for in-depth discussions on crucial issues, including:

Sovereign Debt Markets in a Pivotal Election Year
+ What Next for the International Debt Architecture?

Please note, this event was held under the Chatham House Rule.
