It was a pleasure to visit the @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social @cambridgelaw.bsky.social to present my research on the legal governance of sovereign debt crises at today’s Friday lecture.

The Centre has long been a reference for me—an inspiring forum for excellence and groundbreaking scholarship.

It is remarkable how The International Economy magazine has managed to assemble a symposium of 27 (!!) senior dudes (some of them undoubtedly great) to discuss whether a global debt crisis is on the horizon. Surely there is not a single woman or anyone below the age of 50 qualified to opine on that?

I am pleased to be cited (together with Chris Marsh) in the IMF’s Ex-Post Evaluation of Argentina’s Exceptional Access under the 2022 Extended Fund Facility Arrangement, which has just been released. 🧵

It is fantastic to begin the year with @UniversityofLeeds.bsky.social @unileedsnews.bsky.social featuring the news of the Developing Countries (Debt Relief) Bill being scheduled for debate in the UK Parliament in the media highlights!

Thanks to The Boar for drafting the piece.

Wow. These are powerful remarks by Indermit Gill in his Foreword to the World Bank’s International Debt Report 2024, which has just come out. They are both timely and necessary as we approach the 4th FfD Conference, where discussions on an international solvency insolvency framework are critical.

Legal research is fascinating. What can 18th-century English insolvency law teach global policymakers about sovereign debt restructuring governance? Quite a lot! 🔥

This interesting report by CEPA which has just come out provides a detailed examination of the economic policies implemented during the first year of the Milei administration in Argentina, beyond the libertarian overhype on the internet. 🧵

I do not speak German but am quite sure I understand who benefits from this agreement. Looks pretty much like the Methuen Treaty of the 21st century, supported by a self-identified progressive government. #industricide
