The LAC Debt Group serves as a technical and policy discussion forum for the most pressing sovereign debt matters. It promotes the exchange of experiences and information that will lead to greater transparency, coordination, and integration of the Debt Management Offices in the region.
In addition to offering a year-round possibility for exchange, the Group holds an Annual Meeting in person and virtual thematic sessions.
The principal venue for the exchange of experiences and knowledge on public debt management practices in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Thematic workshops and meetings are organized as needed, without a fixed schedule, providing regular online spaces for discussion and expert insights on the most relevant and up-to-date topics.
Currently, three working groups are focused on Innovation, Efficiency, and Resilience, where member countries actively collaborate through strategic meetings and produce shared resources to strengthen collective capacities.

Held in a member country, the Annual Meeting brings together senior debt management specialists, including Directors of Public Debt, Central Bank officials, and high-level authorities. It serves as the premier forum for sharing expertise on public debt management across Latin America and the Caribbean.

Representatives from non-member countries, multilateral institutions, development agencies, and private banks also participate, fostering a broad exchange of knowledge and best practices.

The LAC Debt Group organizes Thematic Workshops and Meetings to foster the exchange of experiences and technical knowledge among public debt managers. These events provide a space for in-depth discussions on a wide range of issues across back, middle, and front-office operations. Open to all DMOs participating in the group, these workshops aim to address the most relevant and up-to-date topics, facilitating access to innovative instruments and strategies that contribute to optimizing debt management operations.

The three working groups on Innovation, Efficiency, and Resilience bring together member countries to actively collaborate on strategic solutions that strengthen collective capacities and enhance the practices of debt management offices. Each group focuses on generating practical and useful deliverables for daily operations while promoting the exchange of experiences, continuous learning, and joint training.
These dynamics not only enrich shared knowledge but also inspire the topics addressed in workshops and thematic meetings, establishing a regional collaboration space to tackle the challenges of public debt management.
