From March to June 2025, as part of the implementation of the Jean Monnet Module “EU experience in public debt management: conclusions for Ukraine in the war and post-war period”, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (101127602-EUEPDM-ERASMUS-JMO-2023-HEI-TCH-RSCH), a series of elective lectures and practical classes were held for 2nd-year students of Sumy State University majoring in Accounting and Taxation (group ОПз-32-4с) within the course “Fundamentals of Accounting”, and for students of International Economic Relations (group МЕВ-31) within the course “International Finance”.
The sessions were delivered by PhD in Economics, Assistant Lecturer of the Department of Accounting and Taxation, Hanna Petrivna Filatova.
Thematic areas of the elective classes included:
- Public debt management as a component of economic development policy;
- The experience of the European Union and Ukraine in shaping effective debt policies;
- Key approaches to the structure and evaluation of public debt;
- Accounting for public debt obligations in financial reporting (for Accounting and Taxation students);
- The role of debt policy in ensuring macroeconomic stability and economic security (for International Economic Relations students).
The classes were designed to foster interdisciplinary understanding among students of the challenges facing public finance management, particularly in the context of war, recovery, and Ukraine’s path toward EU integration.
Students had the opportunity to explore applied aspects of public debt, including modeling debt burdens and conducting comparative analyses of European debt management practices.
📚 This in-depth educational approach contributed to students’ practical understanding of the role of public debt in the country’s financial governance system.
