About this work
Debt sustainability risks differed sharply across emerging markets in July 2019. Boban Markovic, Jonathan Fortun and Sergi Lanau distinguish high and rising debt in Brazil and South Africa from refinancing pressure linked to large debt service in Egypt, Lebanon and Pakistan. Their systematic assessment highlights fiscal vulnerabilities beyond headline debt ratios alone.
