Resumo

It discusses the advantages of "exchanging the fiscal target based on primary surplus for a target based on savings in the government's current account", as a means of reconciling the maintenance of fiscal austerity with the increase in public investment. Using a sophisticated10 methodology, the authors simulate trajectories for the relationship between public debt and GDP in various scenarios and conclude that exchanging the primary surplus for government current account savings would not substantially alter the trajectory of the debt/GDP relationship. However, this last option would have the advantage of providing a higher rate of economic growth, and is therefore preferable.
