The Public Debt Management Network, an initiative jointly fostered by the OECD, the Italian Treasury, and the World Bank, is organizing the 3rd Public Debt Management Conference, which will be held at the World Bank Headquarters, Washington D.C. USA, on October 3-4, 2024.

The main themes of the Conference are disaster risk finance, climate risk, debt sustainability, inflation and debt management. A preliminary agenda will be available soon.

The Conference will be held in-person and online. If you are interested in participating (in person or online), please fill out the registration form. While all are welcome to register, please note that acceptance for in-person participation at the conference is not guaranteed due to limited space available in the meeting venue. Your application is thus an expression of interest. Deadline for in-person participation registration is June 28, 2024. If your application is accepted, you will receive notification via email by July 31. Until receiving confirmation that your application is accepted, kindly refrain from making any travel arrangements. 

Please note that, although there are no registration fees, speakers and other participants will cover their own travel, accommodation, and other expenses. Participants are responsible for obtaining a visa and any other documentation required to enter the United States. Should you need to obtain the official letter to support your visa application, kindly contact: Ms. Oumi Himid at uhimid@worldbank.org.

The event promotes dialogue among policymakers (debt managers, central bankers, regulators), academia and practitioners (investors, dealers, market infrastructure managers), to encourage knowledge-sharing and collaboration across organizations and disciplinary boundaries, and to foster the development and dissemination of best practices in public debt management and related policy issues. The program includes paper presentations along with contributions by prominent keynote speakers.
