This panel session, the fourth of the Africa's rising debt conference, addresses the following key questions:
- How effective has the implementation of collective action clauses been and what further improvements can be made?
- What challenges does the evolving financing landscape pose to sovereign debt restructuring, particularly the Paris Club and market-based approaches, and what are some possible solutions?
- What incremental steps can be taken to improve the architecture for sovereign debt restructuring to assess legitimacy of debt claims, deal with creditor coordination, address aggressive litigation strategies by 'vulture funds' against sovereign debtors, and link debt restructurings to SDG financing needs and human rights?
