In particular, they should have paid greater attention to the sustainability of US mortgage and consumer debt. In 2007, the mortgage and consumer debt to GDP ratio was more than 90 , compared to 24 for net foreign debt.

After all, faced with infinite quantitative easing, being a large net creditor means being in the worst position in today s global economy.

21 Debt buy backs involve buying back the claims at the net present value of the remaining cash flows the net present value is calculated by discounting cash flows at risk free rate plus a market referenced common country risk spread.

With a rapidly aging population and a shrinking workforce, tax revenue will contract, while expenditure on pensions and health care will expand, undermining the fiscal position. Various estimates by private sector economists and World Bank officials suggest that the government s accumulated net implicit pension debt could balloon to 75 110 of GDP.

With a smaller debt burden and interest payments, Egypt s fiscal position would improve significantly, and threats to economic growth would recede.
