Public Debt in South Asia: Lessons from Three Countries

SAWTEE implemented the project from 14 September to 26 September 2023. The project was supported by The Asia Foundation (TAF). Under this regional project, SAWTEE prepared a paper synthesizing the findings of studies on public debt in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Pakistan, assessing their state of public debt, and, in particular, identifying the political-economic factors that contributed to the deterioration of their debt situation.
