The fourth session of the Debt Wednesday's training course introduced the concepts of illegitimate debt and debt audit. Participants also gave a closer look to the debt situation in Asia.

Panelists

• Eric Toussaint, Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt (CADTM)
• Daniel Jeong-Dae Lee, United Nations' Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)
• Iolanda Fresnillo, Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer, Eurodad
• Moderator: Kjetil Abildsnes, Senior Advisor, Norwegian Church Aid / Kirkens Nødhjelp
