On May 9, 2010, the European Union approved a €750 billion stabilization facility to back up any government debt issuance problems that may be incurred by any of its member nations. The facility has been part of the response to the problems incurred by the Government of Greece regarding the government's ability to refinance maturing debt when it was revealed that the government had provided incorrect information to the EU Commission and the country's annual deficit was actually 14.0% of GDP (monetary union guidelines require that each member country maintain an annual budget deficit of no higher than 3.0% of GDP and a national debt lower than 60.0% of GDP). It is unclear as to whether Greece can reduce public spending, pension obligations, increase tax revenue and improve competitiveness. It is also unclear as to whether the same debt refinancing problem will also be incurred by Portugal, Spain and Ireland. Greece has been effectively shut out of the credit market and must now rely upon a €110 billion loan from the European Union and International Monetary Fund and must improve its finances by 2011 in order to regain investor confidence. The Euro has declined 15.3% from $1.4332 on December 31, 2009 to as low as $1.2144 on May 19, 2010, in response to the crisis, and if the finances of the weakest member countries are not stabilized then the fear is that it would force Greece, Spain and Portugal out of the monetary union.

The World Bank indicates that global GDP contracted by 2.2% in 2009 (the original forecast in March 2009 was 1.7%), the first decline in world output on record. The agency also forecasts that global GDP is expected to grow 2.7% during 2010, and 3.2% in 2011.

The EU has publicly indicated that the EU economy contracted by 4.1% during 2009, and GDP growth is forecasted at 0.70% in 2010. The ratio of national debt to GDP has increased to 80.0% (compared to 60.0% in 2007; the low is 66% in The Netherlands and the high is 125% in Greece). Government deficit across the EU averages 6.7% of GDP, which is in excess of the 3.0% mandated by EU guidelines.

In February 2009, Moody's Investors Service rated the United States and the United Kingdom Aaa Stable Outlook but further categorized them as part of a "Resilient" group as both nation's "ratings are being tested due to a shock to their growth model and large contingent liabilities" as they "also face considerable challenges to their debt positions as they loosen fiscal policy to fight recession." Standard & Poor's Ratings Services also indicate a continued AAA long-term and A-1+ short-term sovereign credit ratings on the U.S. government. U.S. government debt (Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) have usually been considered the benchmark of safety (risk free rate of return) for sovereign issued financial instruments. However, within the Triple-A category Moody's actually created a superior "Resistant" (to downgrade) category, which consists of Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, and New Zealand. Spain and Ireland were termed as "Vulnerable".



Sovereign Analysis

In some ways, a nation is subject to the same economic and financial forces that affect a corporation:

Interest Rates: if interest rates are high, and people are worried about their jobs, then national consumption spending declines. If interest rates are low then asset values tend to increase as the number of purchasers available to obtain inexpensive financing increases.

When a nation liberalizes its capital markets, and improves property rights and contract enforcement, this tends to attract investment capital from across the border. The investment can lead to increased economic development. However, if investors lose confidence in the host government or economic situation and will not renew loans or start selling assets then it can have the exact opposite effect of increasing interest rates, depreciating the local currency, and driving asset values down (especially if financial institutions or companies borrowed in a foreign currency but either lent money or sell products in the local currency and repayment is in the local currency).

Government Finance:
 
  • A deficit or budget deficit is the gap between a government's revenue and expenses (expenses are greater than revenue) when the government prepares the annual budget projections.
  • The national debt of a government is the total amount of deficits added together year after year.
  • Both figures are measured in terms of annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as deficit to GDP and debt to GDP.
  • It is not uncommon for a government to have an annual deficit and a national debt however it is desirable that both are amounts that are considered "acceptable" or "servicable" in terms of GDP.
  • The government's treasury department must issue debt on a constant basis in order to service the pending deficit and the outstanding debt, which is held by both the citizens and corporations residing / domiciled within the nation and by foreign investors outside the nation.
  • Currency: if the value of the currency is depreciating then the cost imports become more expensive and outstanding borrowings also become more expensive.

  • There are three kinds of exchange rates: pegged, floating and fixed. The U.S., Japan and the Euro have floating rates; Hong Kong and Argentina have fixed rates. Under floating rates, monetary policy is set by a central bank and the exchange rate is allowed to float on autopilot. With a fixed-rate regime, a currency board fixes the exchange rate, and monetary policy automatically adjusts. If the current-account deficit shoots up, money supply automatically tightens to cool the economy and move the current account back toward a balance. It works like the old gold standard, only with reserves in U.S. dollars, rather than in gold.
  • The important point to remember is that both floating- and fixed-rate regimes are free-market mechanisms in which there cannot be conflicts between exchange-rate and monetary policies. That's why balance-of-payments crises don't occur with these systems.
  • With pegs, the central bank sets both exchange rate and monetary policies. There's no way for market forces to automatically adjust the economy toward equilibrium.
  • Inevitably, pegged rates result in fundamental contradictions between the exchange rate and the domestic money supply. When the contradictions start to appear, the speculators show up. This was the case with Mexico in 1994, and Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries the late 1990s.
  • The contradiction in Southeast Asia was this: Their pegged exchange rate policies required high interest rates to defend the pegs; on the other hand, the high interest rates sucked in hot money, which kept their economies booming and their current accounts large. The speculators knew something had to give, and something did.
  • A country's trade weighted exchange rate is an average of its bilateral rates with its trading partners, weighted by the amount it trades with each of them. The measure captures the effect of currency changes on the competitiveness of a country's exports: the higher the rate, the costlier they are.
  • European Union Article III-76 mandates that government deficits may not exceed 3% of GDP. If the excessive deficit continues then the EU may impose an order that the offending nation increase taxation or decrease spending. If the offending nation fails to comply then the EU may impose a fine on the nation.

    Current Account Deficit: difference between how much a nation saves and how much it invests; (coupled with): measure of a nation's international transactions; when the outflow of international transactions is higher than revenues generated by international transactions, the shortfall is made up through borrowed funds. Includes not only trade but tourism, investments, services, brokerage fees, international phone tolls, and money sent by immigrants back home to another nation. If the money coming into a nation goes into productive investment, then the nation will have the wherewithal to pay back foreign debt. If it is used for consumer goods/lifestyles, the national deficit will continue to increase. In November 2010, the United States Treasury proposed a 4.0% cap on current-account surplus and deficit.

    Merchandise Trade Deficit: when the purchase of imports into the country exceed the sale of exports going to other nations.

    Sovereign Wealth Funds

    A number of nations who have earned substantial foreign currency reserves either through either commodities sales or current-account surpluses through trade operate Soveriegn Wealth Funds. There is concern about the fund making investments in strategic businesses in foreign nations as the fund managers ultimately answer to a foreign government (they are not managed by intermediary asset managers). The concern is over national security such that there may be some sort of political motivation for the investment becuase it may provide a foreign government with the ability to exercise influence over business sectors, activities and decisions that are in the national interest of the fund but not in the national interest of the nation where the asset(s) are domiciled. Secondly, there is the complaint that there is insufficient disclosure from the funds regarding their management, operations and investment guidelines.
