‘Debt-trap diplomacy’ is an international financial relationship where a creditor country or institution extends debt to a borrowing nation partially, or solely, to increase the lender’s political leverage.

The creditor country is said to extend excessive credit to a debtor country with the intention of extracting economic or political concessions when the debtor country becomes unable to meet its repayment obligations.

The conditions of the loans are often not publicized.

Participation in the conference is free. For organizational reasons, please send an email to denktankcarmenta@gmail.com or Whatsapp +32499357495, Andy Vermaut, the organizer of this international conference.
