Thomas Laryea is a recognized law and policy expert in international finance. He formerly worked at the International Monetary Fund. In private practice, he often represents sovereign debtors and creditors in matters related to finance and debt restructuring, including Argentina, Belize, Mozambique, Suriname, Sudan, and Gambia. He is “of counsel” at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.
The divided composition of IMF's African department, and some of the institution's policy interventions, may still reflect traces of the continent’s colonial past.
