The role of public debt managers in contingent liability management - Selected Country Practices
This document is published as an annex to an OECD working paper on "The role of public debt managers in contingent liability management". It presents the contingent liability management frameworks and practices in seven countries – Brazil, Denmark, Iceland, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and Turkey – that are members of the OECD Task Force on Contingent Liabilities and Public Debt Management. These country cases provide detailed information on the:
• organisational structure of the Debt Management Office (DMO)
• main sources of contingent liabilities
• role of the DMO in the area of contingent liabilities – management, measurement, monitoring and reporting.
The experiences of public debt managers in task force countries shed light on the different implementation and policy frameworks. These differences underline the difficulty of advising on a single set of roles for public debt managers.
