The Debt Management Office and the Effective Debt Management Functions: An Institutional and Operational Framework
This paper differs from other papers published on the subject at least in two aspects. The first one is the political relevance that is given to the decision-making process, as far as responsibility for developing a global macroeconomic public debt management strategy is concerned. The second is that the approach is a functional analysis; i.e., there is no need to have a specific structure for the debt office in order to analyze whom and where the functions are carried out. The paper gives a clear and well-defined list of tasks for each function, and this leads to clear and structured functional responsibilities for the implementation of the back, middle, and front office working organization structure.
