IMF publishes paper on determining debt sustainability; cursory mention of Greece

The IMF’s overall methodology in examining the sustainability of sovereign debt was posted on the Fund’s blog on Thursday, with the article signed by Sean Hagan, Maurice Obstfeld, and Poul Thomsen. While the IMF’s prospective role in the ongoing Greek bailout has been in the headlines in much of Europe’s economic press over the recent period, the article has only a brief reference to the bailout-dependent country.
