Why is it important?

The study provides the severity of debt problem in South Asian countries and the policy to overcome this problem.

Perspectives

Reducing debt accumulation alone will not rectify the problem unless the supplementary macroeconomic policies are made sound; therefore, there is a dire need to improve macroeconomic policies, good governance and elimination of structural distortions.
