DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book titled: The impact of external debt burden on the growth of agricultural and manufacturing sectors of the Nigerian economy dwells on the definitions of external debt as debts incurred by the government through borrowings in the international financial market to support domestic investments and balances of payment deficits, which could not be repaid when they fall due. It also deals with the rational for external debt, causes of external debt, external debt and macroeconomic policies and Nigeria's debt profile and its consequences for development. When the data collected for the research were subjected to co-integration test by using the Augmented Dickey - Fuller root test, the following results were obtained. It was found that there was inverse relationship between debt service payment and agricultural production and it was also seen that external debt and manufacturing output have a direct relationship which indicates a significant growth on the Nigerian economy. It was recommended that the rise of externally borrowed funds for government projects must be closely monitored in order to ensure that they are applied efficiently and effectively.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →We consider public debt from a long-term historical perspective, showing how the purposes for which governments borrow have evolved over time. Periods when debt-to-GDP ratios rose explosively as a result of wars, depressions and financial crises also have a long history. Many of these episodes resulted in debt-management problems resolved through debasements and restructurings. Less widely appreciated are successful debt consolidation episodes, instances in which governments inheriting heavy debts ran primary surpluses for long periods in order to reduce those burdens to sustainable levels. We analyze the economic and political circumstances that made these successful debt consolidation episodes possible.

The results show that the scope for growth is highly dependent on the tightness of the external resource constraint, and that debt service tends to dominate the policy-making.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This paper provides a comprehensive survey of pertinent issues on sovereign debt restructurings, based on a newly constructed database. This is the first complete dataset of sovereign restructuring cases, covering the six decades from 1950–2010; it includes 186 debt exchanges with foreign banks and bondholders, and 447 bilateral debt agreements with the Paris Club. We present new stylized facts on the outcome and process of debt restructurings, including on the size of haircuts, creditor participation, and legal aspects. In addition, the paper summarizes the relevant empirical literature, analyzes recent restructuring episodes, and discusses ongoing debates on crisis resolution mechanisms, credit default swaps, and the role of collective action clauses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This paper explores how fiscal policy can affect medium- to long-term growth. It identifies the main channels through which fiscal policy can influence growth and distills practical lessons for policymakers. The particular mix of policy measures, however, will depend on country-specific conditions, capacities, and preferences. The paper draws on the Fund’s extensive technical assistance on fiscal reforms as well as several analytical studies, including a novel approach for country studies, a statistical analysis of growth accelerations following fiscal reforms, and simulations of an endogenous growth model.
