Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt Fund Inc. (EMD) has announced its distribution details for March 3, 2025, and fiscal year 2025. The Fund operates under a managed distribution policy that aims to deliver long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions at a fixed rate per share.
