Does GRA advise governments on debt issuance?

No. GRA does not advise governments on debt issuance. 

GRA does not advise sovereigns, municipalities, public agencies, public corporations, development agencies, or public finance institutions on whether to issue debt, when to issue debt, how much debt to issue, what maturity to use, what coupon to offer, what investors to target, what bond structure to use, or what disclosure strategy to adopt. 

GRA also does not provide municipal bond advice, sovereign bond advice, green bond advice, resilience bond advice, catastrophe bond advice, public-private bond structuring, credit rating advice, or securities offering advice. 

GRA may support learning around public balance-sheet exposure, disaster risk finance, resilience finance-readiness, infrastructure risk, protection gaps, and public-good evidence. That learning may help participants understand the types of questions that public finance actors may later consider. 

But debt issuance is a formal public finance and capital markets process requiring authorized advisers, legal counsel, underwriters where applicable, fiscal authorities, disclosure controls, market rules, and public approval processes. 

GRA does not advise on public debt issuance.
