We’ve all seen how technology has helped governments handle economic emergencies for years now. What we haven’t seen is how it’s being used to help reduce their financial strain. Now we know how, thanks in part to the European Stability Mechanism, the European Union’s bailout program. It’s basically used as a way for governments to cut back on spending and to avoid using debt to solve economic crises. But it’s not just a way to reduce debt.
Economies like Greece and Spain are still reeling from the economic crisis that began in 2008. The 2008 banking crisis took a heavy toll on the european economies. The IMF found that the crisis had caused a 30 percent decline in GDP growth for the european region. A year later, the IMF found that the economic crisis had caused a loss of $6 trillion in 2008. The Eurozone still has an unfunded balance sheet of $6.4 trillion.
While there are certainly ways to reduce the debt crisis, there’s also a solution that might actually help governments manage the economic crisis. The idea is to use debt to solve economic crises.
Debt is a good way to control the financial crisis. When the government borrows money, that money is paid back in full at a set rate. So what happens when the government has borrowed too much money, and the economy goes down? The debt is rolled over and the government can borrow more money. Governments can control the economy by using debt as a tool.
The problem is that debt is a risky tool. So long as the government is using it wisely, it can be used to solve economic crises. But since the government is taking money from the private economy, they’re putting their personal assets at risk. In this case, the government is borrowing money to finance the economic crisis. That money can be returned to the private economy, but it can also be spent on the government’s agenda.
