THE MOST RENOWNED FOREIGN AND LOCAL ECONOMISTS AND CORPORATE LEADERS IN ONE PLACE - FOR THE FIRST TIME!
The debt crisis brought about a change in the life of Europe. After Greece and Ireland a third country, Portugal, was also forced to resort to outside help, but the situation remains the worst in Greece. In the middle of the summer Athens was granted yet another bailout; the question is whether this will be enough for survival and what will happen with the other seriously indebted countries (with debt-to-GDP ratios of over 100%). Meanwhile, disturbing reports have been coming in from the United States as well. A few days after the debate on the debt ceiling was closed Standard & Poor’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating by one notch from AAA, which triggered a worldwide panic. Should the financial sectors and bondholders be concerned that they could also suffer further losses?
Being heavily indebted is a problem Hungary knows only too well. The country’s debt-to-GDP ratio rose to over 80%, but the current government hopes that by the recently announced structural reform measures it will be able to reduce public debt to 65% of GDP by 2015. What is the outlook on the Hungarian economy then? And what breakout points does the country have?
