A US Congress engaged in political grandstanding might fail to raise the debt ceiling, triggering a technical default.

After all, the consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling would be catastrophic.

Indeed, the main international concern has been US policymakers reluctance to raise the government s debt ceiling!

The second element of the debt relief package would be more innovative If Greece s economy performs well, the generous extension of maturities can be clawed back or the interest rate raised.

Two women's rights organizations, the 'Women's Initiative Against Debt and Austerity Measures' and the 'Independent Women's Movement', have started to raise awareness of these incidents

It is not difficult to identify who would bear what costs if the US did not pay or if it disrupted markets by not increasing its debt ceiling.

Optimists argue that the short run macroeconomic impact of the deal to raise America s debt ceiling and prevent sovereign default will be limited roughly 25 billion in expenditure cuts in the coming year.

28 Bilateral investment treaties which include bonds in the definition of investment can lead to claims against debtors for expropriation in the context of debt restructuring.

Within a few years, western governments will have to sharply raise taxes, inflate, partially default, or some combination of all three. As painful as it may seem, it would be far better to start bringing fundamentals in line now. Restoring confidence has been helpful and important.

Moreover, in the case of domestic debt, a higher interest rate or risk premium merely leads to more redistribution within the country (from taxpayers to bondholders).

Low long term interest rates have kept the region s debts manageable, while high consumer demand has helped bid up prices for the region s commodity exports.

This will require a range of measures, such as higher capital requirements on sovereign debt, real stress testing of banks, and enlarging the EFSF s mandate so that it can also recapitalize banks, not just bail out countries.

In 2008, on the eve of the financial crisis, three quarters of Portuguese debt, half of Spanish and Greek debt, and more than 40 of Italian debt was held by foreigners.
