Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the global financial crisis, there was a surge in the levels of public debt resulting from the economic downturn and many developing countries resorting to external debt to meeting their civic obligations. This paper examines the debt problem in developing countries in Africa between 2010 and 2017. The study employed the use of measurement of government's indebtedness as well as sustainability of the debt measure to evaluate the ratio of gross public debt to the gross domestic product and to ascertain how well the borrowed funds are used by the government. Importantly, the change in ratio of public debt to GDP was examined over a 4-year period (2010-2016). Three measures were used in analysis of the data, ratio of debt to GDP, ratio of dynamic debt to GDP ratio and sustainability of debt levels. The research finds that there is a growing public debt in developing countries that is fueled by external debt and the global financial crisis. As a result of a rapid increase in public debt, one third of developing countries in Africa are at high risks of debt distress. Some of these countries are Chad, Eritrea, Mozambique, South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia and Zimbabwe. By 2016, the sub-Saharan countries gross public debt to GDP ratio had doubled. This increase in debt should have raised all sorts of red flags as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund should have sounded the alarm. Furthermore, the results reveal that three of the biggest countries in Africa, Nigeria, South Africa and Angola have been classified as moderate debt risk distress. While the following countries in 2018 have breached the debt to GDP ratio benchmarked at 50 percent mark Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Cameroon and Zambia. The study further recommends that these countries should mind their public spending activities.
Book Synopsis Global Waves of Debt by : M. Ayhan Kose
Download or read book Global Waves of Debt written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.
Book Synopsis Public Debt in Developing Countries by : Indermit Singh Gill
Download or read book Public Debt in Developing Countries written by Indermit Singh Gill and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past 25 years, significant levels of public debt and external finance are more likely to have enhanced macroeconomic vulnerability than economic growth in developing countries. This applies not just to countries with a history of high inflation and past default, but also to those in East Asia, with a long tradition of prudent macroeconomic policies and rapid growth. The authors examine why with the help of a conceptual framework drawn from the growth, capital flows, and crisis literature for developing countries with access to the international capital markets (market access countries or MACs). They find that, while the chances of another generalized debt crisis have receded since the turbulence of the late 1990s, sovereign debt is indeed constraining growth in MACs, especially those with debt sustainability problems ...

Book Synopsis Overcoming Developing Country Debt Crises by : Barry Herman
Download or read book Overcoming Developing Country Debt Crises written by Barry Herman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing country debt crises have been a recurrent phenomenon over the past two centuries. In recent times sovereign debt insolvency crises in developing and emerging economies peaked in the 1980s and, again, from the middle 1990s to the start of the new millennium. Despite the fact that several developing countries now have stronger economic fundamentals than they did in the 1990s, sovereign debt crises will reoccur again. The reasons for this are numerous, but the central one is that economic fluctuations are inherent features of financial markets, the boom and bust nature of which intensify under liberalized financial environments that developing countries have increasingly adopted since the 1970s. Indeed, today we are in the midst of an almost unprecedented global "bust." The timing of the book is important. The conventional wisdom is that the international economic and financial system is broken. Policymakers in both the poorest and the richest countries are likely to seriously consider how to restructure the international trade and financial system, including how to resolve sovereign debt crises in a more effective and fair manner. This book calls for the international reform of sovereign debt workouts which derives from both economic theory and real-world experiences. Country case studies underline the point that we need to do better. This book recognizes that the politics of the international treatment of sovereign debt have not supported systemic reform efforts thus far; however, failure in the past does not preclude success in the future in an evolving international political environment, and the book thus puts forth alternative reform ideas for consideration.

Download or read book The Debt Threat written by Noreena Hertz and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA OWES $200 BILLION; Brazil, $223.8 billion; Argentina, $155 billion. For every $1 the West gives to developing countries in aid, these countries pay $9 back in debt service. The results of this unprecedented global debt crisis are far-reaching, not just for the countries involved, but for the stability of the entire world. For the first time ever, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalization draws a shocking, cogent picture of where the debt came from and how it affects every one of us. The Debt Threat shows us how these numbers translate into millions of people dying of AIDS; into clear-cutting of the rainforests; into illiteracy, disease, poverty and continual uprisings and wars. It is a story of both avarice and vulnerability, of power imbalance and misuse, of corrupt dictators and reckless lenders. Beginning with a fascinating insider's look at pop star Bono's impressive debt relief campaign and ending with groundbreaking and practical solutions for cancelling world debts, Hertz exhibits how this has become an issue that we can no longer afford to ignore. A book to provoke people of all political persuasions, The Debt Threat will be on the reading lists of all concerned Canadians.

This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years on from the global financial crisis, economies around the world have become dependent on debt for their growth. This has encouraged unprecedented global indebtedness, particularly in emerging markets and developing countries which have little control over global trends. The challenge for the governments of increasingly vulnerable economies is finding room to manoeuvre to manage debt sustainably, while ensuring growth-inducing expenditure to enhance development. In this report, it is argued that, within the global financial system, developing countries have a limited number of choices, and proposals for regional and inter-regional monetary and financial cooperation and reliance on directed development banking are set out as a place to start.

Book excerpt: "A deftly crafted thriller that kept me turning pages---through politics, money, and murder---to the ending I didn't see coming." - Chris DeRose, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Fighting Bunch. A political thriller, tied in to real events, about an apocalyptic threat to America that is ticking remorselessly in the background while Americans continue their daily routines, oblivious to the danger. For years, China's spy agency has been watching the United States rack up trillions of dollars in debt, waiting for the right moment to weaponize that debt to collapse the American government and install a Communist puppet regime. At the same time, suburban accountant Andrea Gartner has been an outspoken critic of the debt as a leader in the South Carolina state Republican Party. When the United States elects President Earl Murray, he brings Andrea into his government as budget director to solve America's debt problem. But before the nameplate is even installed on her office door, China strikes, engineering an American debt crisis that brings the country to the brink of collapse. Government operations come to a screeching halt. With the American hegemon on its knees, China violently seizes the opportunity to fulfill its territorial ambitions in Taiwan and the South China Sea. Thrust into the rapacious, cutthroat world of American politics and surrounded by crises on all sides, Andrea begins a desperate effort to save the United States. Arrayed against her are cynical politicians and belligerent military brass, some of whom just might be secret Chinese agents. Will Andrea be able to keep the United States alive to fight another day? Or will America drown in a sea of red ink at the hands of the Chinese and see its democratic government replaced by a Chinese Communist puppet regime? American life as we know it is about to be obliterated by a debt bomb. And the only person who can save the country is a suburban accountant.
