ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode Paola Subacchi and Barthélemy Faye explore the shifting landscape of finance for development in Africa. As countries expand their access to capital markets and diversify funding sources, new financial tools are reshaping how debt is managed. At the forefront are debt swaps, which replace expensive debt with cheaper, more flexible financing – creating fiscal space while supporting critical development priorities.
