TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 25, 2012) - Bill Rhodes, an international and financial diplomat, was involved in every major sovereign debt crisis around the world up to 2005. He played a key role in negotiating a resolution to the sovereign debt crises in Latin America and Asia in the 1980's and 90's. On June 26, 2012, Mr. Rhodes will discuss the current economic and fiscal challenges facing Europe, and the posing threats to both the global economic outlook and the stability of financial markets. He will also outline the lessons European policymakers should learn from debt restructuring in emerging market economies. The challenge now for Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy is to get their economies back to a sustainable growth path.
