Global debt has reached 365% of world annual GDP, an amount close to $280trillion and surely no one should expect this amount to be repaid within the space of a century. The only solution that seems feasible now is its unstoppable per-financing, although in the long term this solution is not sustainable, since it has its limits and especially when the phase of raising interest rates begins. In this case the solution of re-financing will be difficult, and many states will not succeed.<\/p>\n

Slovenia in January 2021 issued a successful 60-year government bond, while Austria in June 2020 paved the way with a successful issue of a 100-year bond with a yield of 1%.<\/p>\n So did the time crew and the Commission, together with the governments of the euro area member countries, come to issue Euro Perpetual Bond (A bond that never expires) and which will be constantly re-funded covering any insolvency of the euro area member countries?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Global debt has reached 365% of world annual GDP, an amount close to $280trillion and surely no one should expect this amount to be repaid within the space of a century.
