Deterministic debt projections: policy scenariospolicy scenarios

Government debt very high in the SI and the EA, but: firstly, sticking to the EU fiscal rules (SGP); and, secondly, rigorously implementing the fiscal plans laid down in the 2014 SCPs would set it on a clear downward path (towards 60% of GDP)
