Professor Toshiro Nishizawa<\/a>‘s article titled “Debt cancellation not a cure-all for debt-distressed Asia<\/a>” was published by the East Asia Forum.

While debt cancellation looks good on paper, the Paris Club’s poor track record of debt cancellation proves that it is not a cure-all for debt-ridden economies. Debt restructuring that includes incentives for sound debt management would be the most feasible option for Laos and Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Professor Toshiro Nishizawa‘s article titled “Debt cancellation not a cure-all for debt-distressed […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[196],"coauthors":[234],"class_list":["post-58960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-faculty-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58960"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graspp.neopa.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=58960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
