Concepts of amendment of low restricting public debt and its management

Abstract

During last several years (2004–2016) the level of deficit and public debt has been worsened. The following key facts have crucial meaning: – significant sustained exceeding of the level 3% of the quotient debt/GDP (exceed 7.3% in the years 2009, 2010), – exceeding of the level 50% debt/GDP (2010 year), and also 55% in 2010, – more than threefold increase of debt in initial 14 years of current century, – no execution of regulations of the public debt strategy about: the quotient of debt/GDP, share of external debt in the treasury debt etc., – high level of profitability of the debt (the effect of excessive debt servicing costs, especially in comparison to non-crisis countries of EU, in the period of negative deposit rates of ECB).The level of servicing costs is a crucial pathology in the area of public finance. It indicates necessity of amendment of the low restricting public debt and practice of realization of debt strategy. It is indispensable to introduce the following rules: – to confine the level of servicing costs below 1% of GDP, – to observe regulations concerning excessive deficit procedure, and next – fiscal pact; non- -fulfillment of low cannot be explained by lack of sanctions and cause no consequences; – to improve the professional level of debt management (theory and practice) – with the use of current methods of finance engineering and rules of best practice applied in UE countries, – to set up a committee for assessing of quality of debt management. The simulated computations show that reduction of excessive debt will last many years – in optimistic scenario about 5–7 years, in moderate (realistic) – several years. Significant improvement can occur as a result: increase of rate of growth of GDP and raise of rating of the country.
