This note focuses on the impact of the global financial crisis on subnational debt financing. The report approach the following questions: why is subnational debt financing important? What are the impacts of the crisis on the fiscal balance and financing cost of subnational governments (SNGs)?

And, equally important, what are the long-term structural challenges facing SNGs in sustainable financing of infrastructure and social services?
