| | Government debt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Public debt clearing standards are set by the Bank for International Settlements, but defaults are governed by extremely complex laws which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. | | | Government debt ("public debt", "national debt") is money owed by government, at any level (central government or federal government, municipal government, local government). | | | Accordingly, investment in American cities continued, but, U.S. public debt grew while Canada's began to shrink (as of the end of 2003 it was still larger per capita than the U.S. debt but falling, and the U.S. debt was widely expected to pass it and become the fifth-highest among the G8 nations). |

| | The U.S. public debt, commonly called the national debt or the gross federal debt, is the amount of money owed by the United States federal government. | | | U.S. Treasury statistics indicate that, at the end of 2004, foreigners held 44 percent of federal debt held by the public. | | | Unlike the debt of a corporation though, a holder of the debts owed by governments can't force the government into bankruptcy to pay the debt. |

| | MSN Encarta - National Debt |
| | Today, the finances involved in contracting and redeeming the public debt of a country are a sizable proportion of its government budget. | | | National public debts are contracted chiefly by incurring interest-paying loans, in the form of bonds, bills, or notes. | | | Public debts tend to be large-scale credit operations and are contracted on a national scale by central governments and on a lesser scale by provincial, regional, district, and municipal administrative bodies. |

| | Sustainable Public Debt |
| | While fiscal deficits and the public debt and have always been contentious political issues, most economists recognize that a government should be able to safely and reasonably finance at least some part of its spending through the issuance of debt in lieu of taxation. | | | less than the public debt as a percentage of national income (the right-side term) then the public debt and/or the deficit spending rate is unsustainable. | | | A reasonable argument can be made that the level of public debt becomes excessive when its growth in nominal terms (both passively through interest accrual and actively through structural primary budget deficits) exceeds the long-term growth of the economy (and thus its tax revenue base) that the debt was ultimately intended to promote. |

| | Public ownership - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
| | Public sector institutions have access to finance at government interest rates, which are (almost) always lower than even the most financially secure private sector firms, because the government cannot go bankrupt, which means less risk to the lender. | | | Public ownership of profitable services may lead to "gold-plating" (over-investment in assets) if decisions are driven by engineering ideals and not efficiency concerns. | | | Public ownership can protect consumer interests in sectors where competition is low, where choices are important but made infrequently, and/or where consumers do not have the expertise to make good decisions (such as in health care). |

| | Executive Summary |
| | Conservative debt management practices and strong, consistent financial management have resulted in the Commonwealth being recognized as a national leader in public financial management. | | | A number of new programs and enhancements to existing programs have been implemented in recent years to reduce the Commonwealth’s cost of borrowing, ease administrative burdens and time-consuming practices, expand the array of bond financing vehicles, and eliminate unfunded mandates on local governments in refinancing their public debt. | | | As a result of the 1997 moratorium on new tax-supported debt authorizations, increased general fund revenue, and lower than anticipated interest rates, it is expected that the next report of the DCAC will confirm a substantial increase in the Commonwealth’s debt capacity. |

| | Debt Management |
| | The main objective of public debt management is to ensure that the government's financing needs and its payment obligations are met at the lowest possible cost over the medium to long run, consistent with a prudent degree of risk. | | | This involves establishing a framework for the debt managers to identify and manage trade-offs between expected cost and risk in the government debt portfolio." At the basic level, sovereign debt management addresses the structure and composition of the public debt portfolio, including the desired mix in terms of currency, interest rate and maturity profile. | | | Governments are continuing to enhance their debt management capacity by ensuring the debt managers are more accountable, their activities are more transparent, and performance measures are established often on a risk-adjusted basis. |
