The World Bank and International Monetary Fund have developed a systematic and comprehensive framework to help countries develop an effective Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS). The framework is published as the ―Guidance Note for Developing a Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (February 2009). The Guidance Note is accompanied by the Analytical Tool (AT) that can be used to assist governments in their decision making on how financing needs can be met, taking into account macroeconomic constraints and potential sources of financing. view less
