The mission of A&M’s Sovereign Advisory Services is to help countries improve debt sustainability, increase access to capital, promote economic growth, and improve the efficiency of state-owned assets and how government deliver services to their citizens.

According to the World Bank, over 60% of low-income countries are in some measure of financial distress due to the global economic impacts of rising interest rates, a strengthening US dollar, high energy prices and increasing food insecurity. SAS will advise EM governments prior to and after sovereign defaults to help reduce leverage and debt service and secure critical liquidity. A key component of SAS’ services focusses on helping develop economic reform programmes that meet the requirements of official creditors, such as the IMF and the major bilateral official creditors, and other stakeholders and promote sustainable economic growth.

The A&M SAS team is comprised of professionals with the specialised skills related to analysis of sovereigns, central banks, banking systems, state-owned enterprises, and sovereign wealth funds and can assist governments with achieving financial stability and growth, sovereign debt management and restructuring, central bank reforms, performance improvement, and privatisation of state-owned enterprises, as well helping them establish and provide advisory services for sovereign wealth funds.
