Sub-sovereign finances in 2022: challenges and opportunities in post-crisis budgeting and funding

The overall credit quality of European regional and local governments proved resilient during the Covid-19 pandemic despite unprecedented fiscal pressure on all levels of government. Looking ahead, how will crisis-related structural shifts in spending frame future budgets as central government withdraws emergency support amid an uneven economic recovery? What additional resources might emerge? How can regional and local governments exploit investor appetite for ESG-linked bonds?

To answer these questions and more, Scope Ratings is delighted to host a webinar featuring Jakob Suwalski and Giulia Branz, analysts in the Sovereign and Public Sector team and co-authors of Scope’s Sub-sovereign Outlook for 2022.

Please join us at 15:00 CET Thursday 17 February for a discussion of the most important issues facing regional and municipal government finances in Europe.
