Is government debt a trap?
NO ALWAYS A TRAP
The Times of India Sep 23 2014
Is a high level of debt a sign of a country being in economic distress? Not necessarily. IMF estimates on gross government debt indicate that while countries undergoing economic crisis have high debt to GDP ratios, so do some of the world's most advanced economies. For instance, the gross debt of the government of Greece, a country going through a tough economic phase, is 174% of its GDP. The US, the world's largest economy, had government liabilities exceeding its economic output. Emerging economies typically have relatively lower debts. The lowest debt levels, however, are for countries with economies based on oil exports

In 1968-69, foreign debt was more than four and a half times the country's exports, the highest level among years for which data is available. Since 1991-92, debt as a percentage of exports has witnessed a steady decline, which means servicing the debt is easier today.Interest as percentage of total debt has also witnessed a steady decline
