Public sector bond market outlook 2023

This launch event presented the key findings of the first annual global sovereign, supranational and agency issuer survey from OMFIF’s Sovereign Debt Institute. It featured a panel of leading public sector borrowers and was broadcast globally to policy-makers, issuers, investors and central bankers that are part of the OMFIF network.
The survey forms part of the research for the OMFIF Sovereign Debt Institute’s first annual report on public sector borrowers. During the event, participants discussed the results of the survey, which includes the main concerns and predictions for 2023 by leading SSA issuers on liquidity, ESG and investor relations.
