The ratio of debt service to exports for these countries has declined to an average of 10 per cent.

Before the HIPC Initiative, eligible countries spent, on average, slightly more on debt service than on health and education combined. Now, debt in the 28 countries for which relief has been approved has declined by an average of two thirds, while their expenditures on health, education, and other social services have risen to almost four times the amount of debt service payments.

Given that balance sheet accounting is conducted according to a curious mix of nominal and market values, it can be opaque and easy to manipulate. If prices and thus average debt service capacity fall, the real burden of the debt increases.

Currently, the federal debt held by the public is just over 70 of GDP, a level not seen since the early 1950 s. However, government debt soars by an average of 86 after severe financial crises, so the increase in the federal debt by 70 between 2008 and 2012 is not surprising.

In the current situation, the US cannot reduce the real value of its government debt significantly by indulging in a bout of inflation, because the average maturity on existing debt is very short only about four years. And the projected fiscal deficits imply that the additional debt that will be issued during the next decade will be as large as the total stock of debt today.

For Greece, with an overall deficit of 4.1 of GDP and a debt GDP ratio of 170 , the debt ratio would fall if the combination of inflation and real (inflation adjusted) GDP growth exceeded 2.4 . Stated differently, now that Greece has achieved a zero primary budget deficit, its debt burden will decline if its nominal growth rate exceeds the average interest that it pays on its government debt.

Instead of dropping to 110 as planned, the public debt to GDP ratio has increased to 170 . Annual per capita real income contracted 4.8 , on average, over the last six years.

The ECLAC region has suffered from decrease in ODA, capital flows and foreign direct investment levels, and that region's average debt to export ratio (over 1.5) is higher than any other developing region.

Debt sustainability and debt relief

NEW YORK The Greek financial saga is the tip of an iceberg of problems of public debt sustainability for many advanced economies, and not only the so called PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain). Indeed, the OECD now estimates that public debt to GDP ratios in advanced economies will rise to an average of around 100 of GDP.

The average American is nearly 20 times richer than the average Chinese by the 1970s.

To put that task in perspective, in the last 25 years, Greece ran an average primary deficit of 2 per year. To reduce the debt to GDP ratio to 70 , Greece would have to maintain an average primary surplus of 4 for the next 30 years, a level that it has temporarily achieved in only four of the last 25 years. nbsp

However, average pensions are 36 per cent of the average salary in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Most economists failed to foresee the economic dynamics that actually led to the crisis, because they failed to pay enough attention to the rapid increase in US total debt. Instead, they focused exclusively on US foreign debt, ignoring household debt (mortgage and consumer debt), public debt, business debt, and financial debt.
