SUMMARY:Online seminar: Global debt crises – what role for the CEE/CIS region? Eurodad Policy Forum 2021
DESCRIPTION:Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt. \nINVITATION\nDebt crises are not just a problem for large debtor countries in Latin America or the poorest countries in Africa. Countries in the CEE/CIS region are also affected by over-indebtedness. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s\, many countries in the region ran into payment difficulties. \nNow in 2021\, 15 out of 18 countries in the region are critically indebted. The main risks come from borrowing abroad. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also always played a central role\, from the first shock liberalization in the 1990s after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc to the current austerity programme. The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating existing crises and increasing inequality in many developing countries. Many countries are struggling with weak health systems due to previous austerity measures. Because of their income\, most countries in Eastern Europe/CIS are excluded from debt relief measures that the G20 and the IMF have created for developing countries to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAt the same time\, some countries of the region are in a double role of not only being a debtor\, but also a relevant creditor to other developing countries\, which implies a responsibility in debt crisis resolution either in bilateral cases and in global reform discussions. \nSpeakers\n\nIolanda Fresnillo (Eurodad)\nKristina Rehbein (erlassjahr.de)\nMarcin Wojtalik (IGO)\nAjda Pistotnik\, Slovenia\nZvezdan Kalmar\, Serbia\nDaniyar Serikov\, Kazakhstan\n\nAgenda\nIn the seminar\, we would like to get a better understanding about debt in the region and implications for the work of civil society justice groups: \n\n\n\n10.00\nInteractive introduction to get an understanding about prior knowledge and understanding of participants on the issue\, including the basic concepts of debt (public vs private\, types of creditors\, cancellation vs restructuring vs reprofiling (15 min) (Iolanda Fresnillo – Eurodad)\n\n\n\n10.15 \n \nOverview of the debt situation in the region (Kristina Rehbein) \n\nThe debt situation in the region: Which countries are critically indebted?
