This GDLN policy dialogue is the sixth in a series of regional dissemination of lessons and best practices in key dimensions of the investment climate. This is the first of two dialogues aimed at the Balkan countries and the EU candidate countries focusing on strengthening commercial law frameworks with a particular emphasis on creditor rights and insolvency laws. This videoconference policy dialogue will feature two speakers, both experts in the field of insolvency and creditor rights systems.

The video conference is intended to bring together relevant participants from policy makers, practitioners and stakeholders including government officials and representatives from the private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academics and policy researchers to discuss how best to initiate reforms.
