Une nouvelle note Finance for Development Lab de Martin Kessler et Abdoulaye Ndiaye
Very happy to welcome @YufanHuang07 at the Lab!
I’m excited to share that I have joined the @FinDevLab in Paris as China Program Manager.
At FDL, I’ll be leading work on China’s role in development finance, with a particular focus on sovereign debt restructuring and China’s evolving engagement with developing economies and the international financial architecture.
Grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way, and excited for what’s ahead with @mkessler_DC, @ishacdiwan, and other amazing colleagues at FDL.

Bolivia’s challenges are serious—but manageable with the right policies & multilateral support.
