3.1. Solvency
Solvency reflects debt sustainability of a
country. It depends on the stock of debt, compared
with the ability to pay, measured by
GDP, exports, or government revenue. A country
is solvent in public debt if the discounted
value of its future primary budget balances
equals or exceeds net present value of its debt.
Similarly, a nation is solvent in external debt if
the discounted value of its future trade balances
is greater than the net present value of
foreign debt. Hence examining budget and
trade balances is very important to evaluating
solvency of a country’s public debt. Persistent
budget and trade deficits will accumulate to
the current stock of debt. Currency overvaluation
might result in trade imbalance and external
debt. In contrast, a high GDP growth rate
will raise the ability to pay debt
