Why Evidence-Based Debt Intelligence?

Debt restructuring negotiations have historically favored creditors with access to comprehensive data, legal expertise, and precedent knowledge. This platform addresses that information asymmetry.

When negotiators from developing economies enter discussions armed with verified precedent data showing what comparable nations achieved, economic models demonstrating fiscal sustainability paths, and climate-adjusted frameworks reflecting actual vulnerabilities—they negotiate from a position of knowledge, not disadvantage.

The 16 countries in this database represent over 500 million people and $1.2 trillion in combined GDP. These are substantial economies making strategic decisions about sustainable fiscal futures.
