Highlights of the Strategy for Managing Government Debt in Romania

The concept of government public debt is a complex one and it has to be analyzed according to the current context influenced by the global financial and economic crisis. In analyzing the government debt it is important to observe its structure in relation to its origin, categories of instruments, period of contract, interest rate or currency denomination. We selected to analyze the interval 2002- 2012 because we thought that this period contained both good times from economic and financial point of view as well as times when the economy and finance had a negative trend.
