Sovereign Debt Markets in the EU Mediterranean Partner Countries - 2005

This Handbook on Sovereign Debt Markets in the EU Mediterranean Partner Countries has been prepared by the EIB Capital Markets Department.

The aim of this handbook is to increase awareness and stimulate the further development of the sovereign debt markets of the countries in which FEMIP (the Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership) operates. This forms part of a general strategy of making the capital markets expertise acquired by the EIB in Central and Eastern Europe available to the European Union's Mediterranean partner countries.

The document is based on information gathered from the Debt Management Offices and other Government authorities of the ten EU Mediterranean Partner Countries.
