VES-voorzitter Debipersad: Nieuwe schuldendeal biedt ademruimte; duidelijkheid nodig

Steven Debipersad, Chairman of the Association of Economists in Suriname (VES), has described the government’s attempt to restructure its foreign debt as ‘a timely and positive step.’ However, he cautioned that the government’s communication regarding this operation has been insufficient and confusing. ‘The idea is sound, but the government must clarify the specifics of the agreement, how it fits into the budget, and its long-term implications,’ Debipersad stated in an interview with Starnieuws.
