Policy advice

Having followed the European debt crisis since the birth of the euro (six year in Brussels as the macro-economics correspondent for Bloomberg from 1999 to 2005), I was well placed to advise the president of Senegal, flush with the success of a recent sovereign bon issue. I helped him draft an op-ed peice which was used in the IHT/ New York Times.
