The Gemloc Advisory Services team has launched a Peer Group Dialogue Series, providing policy-makers with a quarterly online forum for sharing experiences and expertise. Pilot Peer Group The web-based dialogue series is kicking off with a small group meeting on March 31st, 2009. This first peer group will convene large emerging bond markets to discuss policy challenges facing them, including the current financial crisis. In the coming months, additional peer groups will be formed to address other key issues, and the goal is to involve all Gemloc countries. Materials from these dialogues will be shared on this website. Eligible Pilot Participant Countries - Background Click on country name to access report
