Sustainability of the Belgian public debt Thomas Sohet

Public debt is a subject known to all, an everyday problem at the very center of the political and economic reforms that we feel and observe within our country but also more globally concerning the latest events in Greece. At first sight, public debt does not seem to be very different from private debt, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. Because of its intrinsic characteristics, a state is not limited in time and is part of a timeless environment.
