Our speakers addressed topics including practitioner qualification and accreditation, expedited pre-insolvency and insolvency processes for MSEs, fostering regional collaboration, the influence of the World Bank Business Ready report on regulatory activities, and the connection between tax incentives and capacity-building initiatives for insolvency practitioners and judges.
