| description |
This paper analyzes the status of public
debt management performance in 17 small states through the
findings of the Debt Management Performance Assessment
reports. Empirical evidence indicates that the higher the
quality of a country's policies and institutions, the
better is its capacity to carry debt and withstand exogenous
shocks. Borrowing for productive purposes can be an
important element in boosting growth of gross domestic
product but, conversely, excessive borrowing or poorly
structured debt in terms of maturity, currency, or interest
rate composition can quickly offset the positive impact,
deter new foreign and domestic investment, compromise reform
programs, depress growth of gross domestic product,
exacerbate the challenge of meeting debt service
obligations, and may induce or propagate economic crises.
Arguments in favor of sound debt management are especially
compelling for small states that must mitigate the
particular risks to which their economies are exposed.
Against this backdrop, the paper identifies aspects of debt
management where small states do relatively well and those
where they perform poorly, relative to other developing
countries, and examines the underlying factors at play. It
elaborates on some of the successful measures taken by small
states to enhance debt management performance and considers
how these may be applied more broadly in other small states.
The paper offers a number of practical suggestions to
strengthen debt management performance. |
