This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of fiscal consolidation and debt reduction in the Caribbean. It examines the problem of high debt in the region and discusses policy options for improving debt sustainability, including fiscal consolidation, robust growth, and structural reforms. The book also examines empirically the factors underlying global large debt reduction episodes to draw important policy lessons for the Caribbean. It also reviews the literature on successful fiscal consolidation experiences and provides an overview of past and current consolidation efforts in the Caribbean. The book concludes that the region needs a broad and sustained package of reforms to reduce debt ratios to more manageable levels and strengthen economic resilience.BooksFinance, PublicCaribbean AreaDebts, PublicCaribbean AreaFiscal policyCaribbean AreaExports and ImportsimfFinancial Risk ManagementimfForeign ExchangeimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfFiscal PolicyimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfPublic finance & taxationimfFinanceimfInternational economicsimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfFiscal consolidationimfPublic debtimfDebt reductionimfFiscal rulesimfFiscal stanceimfFiscal policyimfAsset and liability managementimfExpenditureimfDebts, ExternalimfDebts, PublicimfExpenditures, PublicimfBalance of paymentsimfJamaicaimfFinance, PublicDebts, PublicFiscal policyExports and ImportsFinancial Risk ManagementForeign ExchangeMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtFiscal PolicyNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsPublic finance & taxationFinanceInternational economicsCurrencyForeign exchangeFiscal consolidationPublic debtDebt reductionFiscal rulesFiscal stanceFiscal policyAsset and liability managementExpenditureDebts, ExternalDebts, PublicExpenditures, PublicBalance of payments336Yartey Charles Amo1485134Turner-Jones Therese1555850International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910791192003321Caribbean Renewal3818095UNINA
