The need for massive fiscal adjustment without any offsetting currency devaluation will now drive Greece and perhaps others to default on their government debt, probably through some kind of IMF supported debt restructuring.

But an exception can again be made When both the private and public sectors are overburdened with debt, adjustment leads to a debt deflation spiral, particularly when conducted under a fixed exchange rate regime.

In the face of downward nominal wage rigidity, higher inflation would facilitate sectoral adjustment and achieve a small but useful impact on reducing debt burdens.

Adjustment

And, even on such generous terms, Greece would probably need a daunting 10 of GDP fiscal adjustment just to return to a more stable debt path.

The adjustment will be even more painful in Europe, because a sovereign debt crisis has a depressing effect on everyone consumers, investors, and the public sector alike.

The main pillar of our programme is the fiscal adjustment needed to limit external vulnerability and the increase of Croatia's external debt to gross domestic product ratio.

Shifting the entire adjustment burden onto peripheral countries with current account deficits, while core countries continue to run surpluses, obstructs adjustment.
