ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Episode 13 of DebtTalks dives into how Latin America can unlock domestic finance to power - funding major infrastructure while supporting SMEs - to the rise of innovative tools like green and thematic bonds in the Caribbean, the episode explores what’s working across a diverse region.
With debt costs squeezing fiscal space, the conversation highlights the urgent need for cheaper financing. It also underscores the importance of stronger multilateral cooperation - moving beyond siloed approaches - to scale impact and drive sustainable development.
