This document discusses the Debt Management Performance Assessment (DeMPA) and how it applies to small states. It provides an overview of what DeMPA is, including the performance indicators it uses to evaluate debt management. It then analyzes DeMPA results from a sample of 6 small states, finding that on average they scored lower than non-small states. Specifically, small states had an average of 30% of indicators above the minimum requirement, compared to 44% for non-small states. The document concludes DeMPA can help small states strengthen debt management capacity given their unique challenges with smaller markets and limited resources.
