- Sovereign debt hurts private sector
- "High levels of sovereign debt also affect the private sector directly, such as through the government’s inability to provide ongoing support in a prolonged recession or economic setbacks during the recovery.
- Governments that are near or in debt distress do not have room to provide even temporary fiscal support to firms and households.
- Moreover, an increase in the risk of debt distress typically leads to a downgrade in the sovereign credit rating, which sets off self-fulfilling dynamics because the downgrade itself deteriorates macroeconomic fundamentals and the access to capital by private firms."
