| description | This paper aims to bring Romanian research on public debt into the
international spotlight, contextualizing it within the rising global debt levels caused by
recent economic crises, such as the global financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The main goal is to highlight the importance of local research, often overlooked, while
analyzing public debt through both global and local lenses. The first part of the paper
analyzes the intensifying effects of globalization, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic,
and the shift in how public debt is perceived, with a growing focus on investments and
budget deficits. It also examines the challenges faced by decision-makers in managing
debt sustainability, particularly the tension between political priorities and fiscal realities.
The second part provides an empirical analysis of recent studies on the rise of global
public debt, political economy factors, and credit cycles. The third section outlines the
difficulties in governing public debt in the European Union due to the absence of a
fiscal union and explores the concept of an optimal monetary zone. One of the central
political issues raised is the tendency of politicians, especially in advanced economies, to
exploit public debt for short-term electoral gains. |
