One of a number of Gearing ratios.
 
Debt distress is a situation in which a borrower is unable to meet its financial obligations to creditors.
 
Borrowers in default are - by definition - in debt distress.
 
However, debt distress is a broader concept, also including situations where the borrower has not yet defaulted on its borrowing obligations.
 
 
Debt distress is a more serious form of ''financial distress.''

:"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."
