Topic #1: National Debt
Imagine you have a Consulting Firm that advises governments
on issues of budget deficits and debt.
You get a call from the new government of Pinkland, which is
wondering whether it would be okay for them to increase their
deficit. They don’t give you any more information than that, but
they say they want you to tell them what the risksare, right
there, on the phone, without really giving you time to look up
information and data about that country. You ask to be given a
little time to gather your thoughts and put together your talking
points.
Given the situation, all you can do is telling them what
factors/ questions are important to consider
when assessing potential (low or high) risks of having greater
deficits/debt.
So you make a
numbered list
these factors/questions. Then, for each
factor/ question
you explain in detail why it is important to consider this factor
or to ask this question (i.e. under which circumstances they may
indicate a low or high risk of increasing the deficit/debt).
