Highlighting the country’s vulnerability to factors such as climate-triggered commodity price shocks, the brief shows why the Lao PDR needs to tackle its unsustainable debt and use more evidence-based budget allocations. It analyzes how ramping up the Lao PDR’s nascent green bond sector, kick-starting fiscal reforms such as introduction of pollution taxes, and improving the governance of public-private deals can prepare it for a greener future.
