Proposed Board of Public Debt Burden Assessment

Abstract

The financial situation of any country is highlighted by the level of its deficit. It is difficult to imagine a state that is not involved in the problem of having a deficit budget. There are various sources of financing the deficit of the state budget, but the most applicable is the involvement of foreign loans, which ultimately increases the burden of the state debt. Effective management of public debt is important in the context of financial management. In the article, the authors used the external debt/export ratio tool to evaluate the RA state debt, one of the debt evaluation coefficients used by the World Bank for the classification of borrower countries. The results of the reanalysis based on the mentioned methodology allows us to note that, in general, the debt ratio of RA was in the "acceptable" range specified by the World Bank in the considered periods, except for the "horrific" range recorded in 2009, 2016 and 2021, the causal interpretation of which was presented in the article.
