El Riesgo del endeudamiento: La Crisis de la Deuda Soberana y posibles implicaciones

Abstract

Due to the global financial crisis unleashed between 2007 and 2008 and which quickly spread to the real sector, many governments did come out to rescue banks, significantly increasing their debt levels and, in particular, debt sovereign. Thus, many countries have reached unsustainable levels of debt, so that central banks injected liquidity to markets and expanded its balance sheet to buy assets of countries and companies in crisis, in order to ensure the smooth functioning of financial system. That is why in this article provides an analysis of the levels of borrowing countries as a result of this process, and presents a series of reflections about the impacts and the consequences that these may have in the short and medium term, especially in predicting the magnitude of these impacts.
