Continuing its work from the report Escaping the Sovereign Debt-Crisis, this series of short reports for individual countries shows how productivity driven growth and moderate spending offer a way out of the sovereign debt crisis. We present a simple but powerful model that empirically connects the management of the deficit and debt with the need to support GDP growth of the economy.
