Product Description
The Directory of Government Debt Offices provides detailed listings and descriptions of government debt offices in 110 countries around the world

Governments are the worldÂ’s biggest borrowers. Issues of public debt are growing rapidly as budget deficits rise in America, the Eurozone, Japan, Britain, and many other developed countries and emerging market economies.

In recognition of this, and in order to provide a unique overview of this rapidly changing field, the Directory of Government Debt Offices provides detailed listings and descriptions of government debt offices in 110 countries around the world. Entries cover all OECD countries and major emerging markets, with listed institutions managing over $19 trillion in marketable government debt, equivalent to more than 30% of world GNP.

A new profession

Over the past decade, many governments have reorganised their debt function, recognising the need for a professional team with some operational autonomy and the ability to respond rapidly to market developments. The directory tracks and analyses these changes.

Public debt management is now regarded as a distinct field, with a growing international community of professional debt managers and the emergence of codes of sound practice.

Governments around the world have recognised the importance of the function, granting debt managers more autonomy. The growth of separate agencies mirrors the earlier proliferation of central banks and financial regulators.Entries include information on:• Organisation and structure – Where is the debt office located? What is the chain of authority? When was the office established?• Responsibilities and mandate – Is the debt office responsible for both domestic and foreign-currency debt? What about cash management and contingent liabilities? Who else is involved?• Senior staff – Who heads the debt office? What is their background? What are their terms of appointment? Details of other senior staff.• Outstanding debt – How much marketable debt is outstanding? What about total government debt? What is the maturity structure?• Recent issuance – How much debt was issued in the latest year? How was it issued?• Market structure – Are primary dealers used? Is index-linked debt issued?• Technology – What is the main IT system in use?• Current activities – Recent and planned developments.An introductory chapter gives a summary of the latest trends in the techniques, instruments and organisation of leading debt management agencies around the world. ...

Put your money toward access to the internet !
This Industrial and Business Directory is pathetic and outdated. Furthermore, it does not contain much, if anything, not freely accessible (not to mention more current) via the internet. For example, The CIA World Factbook, a free online resource provided by the U.S. Government [...] has 50% of the info in this Book from International Business Publications. I purchased this book in November 2006, and it did not have facts regarding the Brazilian Presidential Election of 2002! This makes its accuracy regarding strategic economic information and listings of Business contacts in Brazil questionable at best, and useless at worst.

If you're looking for a list of government agencies and major businesses with contact info by industry sector, and are willing to accept that the info is at least 3-5 years old, then it will save you some time online or at the library. Otherwise, you will be disappointed. Today, global business and political climates change rapidly, and for a book to be represented as "updated annually" (boldly printed on page 2) and be so far in the past, is shameful.

Personally, I would have rather sent the more than US$100 I spent on this resource to a charity. ... Read more
