Key Quotes
“The
collapse of oil prices has hit some countries’ fiscal books and broader
economies particularly hard. The IMF warned of the risk of a
self-reinforcing spiral of rising debt ratios in the face of weakening
growth, as very high debt ratios may cause both the public and private
sectors to curb spending, dampening GDP more than fiscal spending.
Meanwhile, governments in developed nations are being urged to pull
their weight in terms of fiscal stimulus and take pressure off overtaxed
monetary policy.”
