The paper derives ""fan charts"" to depict the probability distribution of the government debt to GDP ratio under a medium-term adjustment scenario, as a result of shocks to GDP growth and interest rates. The distribution of shocks is derived from the past shocks to these variables and the related variance covariance. Because we are interested in assessing the sustainability of a particular policy scenario, we do not consider independent fiscal policy shocks or the endogenous policy respo 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aDebts, Public$zLebanon$xEconometric models 606 $aFiscal policy$zLebanon$xEconometric models 607 $aLebanon$xEconomic conditions$xEconometric models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDebts, Public$xEconometric models. 615 0$aFiscal policy$xEconometric models. 676 $a336.34 700 $aDi Giovanni$b Julian$0936634 701 $aGardner$b Edward$0999096 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464021503321 996 $aA simple stochastic approach to debt sustainability applied to Lebanon$92292189 997 $aUNINA
