Debt, Defaults and Dogma: Politics and the Dynamics of Sovereign Debt Markets

A temporary decline in political risks after the presidential election, the liberalization of the domestic financial market in 1996–97, and the stabilization of debt dynamics did not change the tendency for the budget’s debt expenditures to increase. Fiscal measures that may have averted the debt default were not implemented.

If debt is too high, what policies are available to governments to reduce these debt obligations? This chapter goes through all options, short of default.
