Abstract
The Debt Management Performance
Assessment (DeMPA) is the World Bank’s diagnostic tool for
assessing performance using a comprehensive set of
indicators that span the full range of government debt
management (DM) functions. Launched in 2007, revised in
2015, the indicators have become an internationally
recognized standard in the government DM field and can be
applied in all developing countries. The DeMPA offers a
sound diagnostic framework that allows a country’s DM
processes and institutions to be evaluated against sound
international practice, identifying core strengths and
weaknesses, and thereby helping strengthen capacity and
institutions so that countries can manage their government
debt effectively and sustainably. It will assist countries
that want to undertake debt management reforms, helping to
monitor progress with achieving government DM objectives
consistent with international sound practice. The DeMPA is
modeled on the Public Expenditure and Financial
Accountability (PEFA) indicators, however, it uses a more
comprehensive set of indicators, spanning the full range of
government debt management (DM) functions, to provide a
detailed assessment of government DM. The DeMPA methodology
consists of two parts: i) a description of the methodology
and ii) an evaluation tool that summarizes key questions
that should be assessed in the context of a DeMPA evaluation.
