    Will debt be a drag?

    Dealing with the upward drift in government debt

    Developed market (DM) governments accumulated massive debts during the global financial crisis—which they appear reluctant, or unwilling, to tackle. The U.S., for example, is deploying a significant, unfunded tax cut, European voters are demonstrating austerity fatigue and Japan is kicking the can down the road.

    We ask what a successful DM public debt consolidation would look like, based on successful past consolidations, and consider the obstacles today as well as the long-term investment implications.

    What are potential long-term risks? If they do tackle debt, our interest rate and growth projections may need to be lowered. If debt is not tackled, there is the risk of a political challenge to central bank independence, to lower rates to help ease the debt service burden.
