An intelligent analysis of the dangers, opportunities, and
consequences of global sovereign debt
Sovereign debt is growing internationally at a terrifying rate,
as nations seek to prop up their collapsing economies. One only
needs to look at the sovereign risk pressures faced by Greece,
Spain, and Ireland to get an idea of how big this problem has
become. Understanding this dilemma is now more important than ever,
that’s why Robert Kolb has compiled Sovereign Debt. With
this book as your guide, you’ll gain a better perspective on the
essential issues surrounding sovereign debt and default through
discussions of national defaults, systemic risk, associated costs,
and much more. Historical studies are also included to provide a
realistic framework of reference.
* Contains up-to-date research and analysis on sovereign debt
from today’s leading practitioners and academics
* Details the dangers of defaults and their associated systemic
risks
* Explores the past, present, and future of sovereign debt
The repercussions of a national default are all-encompassing as
global markets are intricately interwoven in the modern world.
Sovereign Debt examines what it will take to overcome the
challenges of this market and how you can deal with the uncertainty
surrounding it.
