"Living with Debt" focuses on how to manage sovereign debt safely
and effectively. The report traces the history of sovereign
borrowing in Latin America, releases a new data set on public debt,
and analyzes the evolution of debt, highlighting the recent trend
toward higher levels of domestic debt and lower external borrowing.
The report also includes a detailed study of the costs of sovereign
defaults such as those that have affected some Latin American
countries in recent years.
Drawing from in-depth country studies, the report notes the
development of domestic debt markets, which have the potential to
increase the availability of finance for the private sector and
enhance financial markets' stability more generally. However, the
report concludes that safely managing domestic debt presents
somewhat different--but not necessarily simpler--challenges. In
particular, the broader range of debt instruments interacts with
the variety of shocks to which economies are exposed, requiring a
more comprehensive approach to debt sustainability analysis, which
the report outlines.
