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.

The capacity of developing countries to manage the maturity structure and currency composition of debt needs further improvement.

Even if the face value of the Greek debt were not reduced, a maturity extension would still provide massive debt relief on a present value basis to Greece as a euro of debt owed 30 years from now is worth much less today than the same euro owed a year from now. Moreover, a maturity extension resolves rollover risk for the coming decades.

Moreover, a debt reduction in the form of further interest rate reductions and maturity extensions on foreign government held debt would not hurt financial markets. But debt held by the European Central Bank and the IMF could pose a problem.

One obvious objection to this strategy is that it would reduce the average maturity of Italian and Spanish debt. I believe that, on the contrary, this would be an advantage in the current exceptional circumstances, because it would keep the Italian and Spanish governments on a short leash no country concerned could afford to lose the ECB facility.

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.

The issue was not only the aggregate level of debt it was also a question of balance between private and public sector debt, their maturity structure, the level of contingent liabilities, reserve management and pursuit of macroeconomic policies consistent with development objectives.

As Daniel Gros recently pointed out, debt that can be rolled over indefinitely at zero interest rates is no debt at all. This is an extreme example but the closer a fixed interest rate gets to zero, and the longer the maturity becomes, the lower the burden of the stock of debt.

The most prominent example is money market mutual funds. These entities take money from investors and buy various kinds of assets, some of which may be risky like short maturity corporate debt.

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.

The answer is to emulate the response to sovereign debt crises in Uruguay, Pakistan, Ukraine, and many other emerging market economies, where orderly exchange of old debt for new debt had three features an identical face value (so called par bonds) a long maturity (20 30 years) and interest set well below the currently unsustainable market rates and close to or below the original coupon.

In that sense, maturity would also ensure consensus.

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.

We develop more emotional maturity if we play more.

Article 11The term held to maturity investment refers to a non derivative financial asset with a fixed date of maturity, a fixed or determinable amount of repo price and which the enterprise holds for a definite purpose or the enterprise is able to hold until its maturity.

The SDP action plans are at various stages of maturity.

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.

We see their response as an illustration of growing political maturity in Kosovo.

A successful strategy would have to address one of the eurozone s main design flaws member governments issue debt in euros, a currency that they cannot control. As a result, they cannot provide a guarantee to bondholders that the cash will be available to pay them at maturity.

To achieve it we need commitment, political maturity, dialogue and vision from all involved.

By 2001, the average pension in the Federation was two thirds of the average income per capita, which is above average for transition countries.

But, in large part and with a few exceptions in Central and Eastern Europe emerging market economies improved their fiscal performance by reducing overall deficits, running large primary surpluses, lowering their stock of public debt to GDP ratios, and reducing the currency and maturity mismatches in their public debt. As a result, sovereign risk today is a greater problem in advanced economies than in most emerging market economies.

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
