Commentary: The Burden of the National Debt
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 March 2020
Abstract
Most discussion of the Government's fiscal position seems to focus on the immediate risks associated with a rising national debt. There is concern that the UK's credit rating will be reduced and fear that this might lead to a further fall of the exchange rate. It is sometimes suggested that if the budget deficit is not reduced sharply in the reasonably near term there will be a significant risk that the UK might default on its debt.
