Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The unprecedented contraction in global economic activity from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in decisive domestic fiscal and monetary policy measures to ameliorate the demand and supply implications, reduce systemic risks and maintain financial stability. However, medium-term vulnerabilities have arisen as a result of these measures. In particular, sovereign and corporate debt levels have increased amid massive fiscal stimulus spending, contributing to explosive debt accumulation in advanced economies, emerging markets and low-income countries. As a result, issues of risk and sustainability have emerged. The increase in public debt necessitates the development of careful debt-management strategies to avoid risks and debt-distress situations that could lead to sovereign debt restructuring. This JRFM Special Issue will address the issues of debt management, sovereign debt and restructuring in the context of the emerging risks in the global economy and provide tangible recommendations for managing debt and dealing with debt resolutions in the case of emerging preemptive defaults or post-default situations. The papers in this Special Issue of the JRFM will be based on the proceedings of the conference on the same topic that will be conducted on February 26, 2021 at Drexel's LeBow College of Business in collaboration with the Global Interdependent Center (GIC).
