LONDON/GENEVA (Reuters) -A new U.N.-supported forum designed to help tackle the most pressing debt issues across emerging economies was launched on Wednesday as policymakers warned that ever-rising burdens divert vital funds away from much-needed investments.
The Seville Forum on Debt, led by Spain and presented during the 16th session of the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development or UNCTAD in Geneva, aims to bring together creditors and borrowers as well as international financial institutions and academics.
