European SSA forum (spring)
19 March, ParisĀ
With European sovereign, supranational and agency issuance at its highest level since 2010 and investor appetite continuing to increase, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for European SSA markets. While momentum is strong, the market confronts challenges that call for collaboration, innovation and insight.
Now in its fifth year, the spring edition of the European SSA forum (formerly, the Public sector debt summit) returns as the must-attend event for issuers and investors shaping the future of public sector finance. The forum convenes leading figures from developed markets, including SSA issuers, asset managers, investment banks, rating agencies and other key stakeholders for high-level discussions on the issues that matter most, such as market fragmentation, transparency and the potential of collective issuance.
The event is held strictly off the record, ensuring an environment of openness and authentic dialogue. Attendees can look forward to candid, forward-looking conversations and networking opportunities with peers catalysing the evolution of Europeās capital markets.

About the Sovereign Debt Institute
OMFIFās Sovereign Debt Institute is an important forum for issuers and investors in the public sector debt markets to discuss their priorities and concerns. The intimate format of our events has generated positive feedback from both borrowers and the buyside.
Events hosted by the SDI during 2025Ā generated in-depth discussions about core issues affecting the public sector debt markets. These included profound structural and geopolitical shifts, such as increased defence spending while balancing the shift towards more sustainable and green bonds, and global investors seeking alternatives to dollar-denominated assets amid ongoing US uncertainty and growing digitalisation.
Throughout 2026, we will build on the success of our 2025Ā calendar. This will include a mixture of flagship forums with larger numbers of issuers and investors, as well as more focused groups for discussions on specific regions and topics.
