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 response to shocks. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/097 606 $aDebts, Public$zLebanon$xEconometric models 606 $aFiscal policy$zLebanon$xEconometric models 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aDebt sustainability analysis$2imf 606 $aDeposit rates$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aReal interest rates$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aInterest rates$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 607 $aLebanon$xEconomic conditions$xEconometric models 607 $aLebanon$2imf 615 0$aDebts, Public$xEconometric models. 615 0$aFiscal policy$xEconometric models. 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aDebt sustainability analysis 615 7$aDeposit rates 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aReal interest rates 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aInterest rates 615 7$aDebts, External 676 $a336.34 700 $aGardner$b E$01673850 701 $aDi Giovanni$b Julian$01673851 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813694903321 996 $aA Simple Stochastic Approach to Debt Sustainability Applied to Lebanon$94038227 997 $aUNINA
