Debt management has become increasingly complex. Nowadays, it includes factors such as capital market borrowing, hedging and derivatives, contingent liabilities, and IT developments such as mobile-, web-based- and cloud-technologies. Debt managers therefore need a modern and comprehensive system that allows to consolidate, store and analyse debt data in a secure manner. DMFAS is such a system. It was a co-founded by SECO in the 1980s. Since then, the system has evolved to become the world's most popular debt management system, currently used by 85 institutions in 57 countries.
