Biggs, Michael Llewellyn Abedian, Iraj Economics Bibliography: leaves 77-80. The South African government debt has risen alarmingly over the last decade, with the debt-to-GDP ratio increasing from 33% in 1985 to 57% in 1995. These debt movements, combined with historically high conventional deficits equal to 9.0% and 9.8% of GDP in 1993 and 1994 respectively, have cast doubt on the solvency of government. This paper considers the issue of government solvency by focusing on two questions. Firstly, "Are present fiscal policies sustainable?", and secondly, "What are the limits to future fiscal policy if government solvency is to be maintained?" 2014-12-26T14:14:06Z 2014-12-26T14:14:06Z 1996 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10114 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
