Controlling public
borrowing
• Government’s main revenue came from taxation
• Most governments often face annual budget deficit rather
than budget surpluses
• The accumulated debt of past and present governments
represents a country’s National Debt
• Controlling public borrowing is best tackled by restraining
the public spending rate rather than increase revenue
through taxation (most people do not like high tax)
Concerning regard high
public debt:
• Higher interest rate and its impact on consumption,
investment and business
• Public sector “crowding out” private sector’s search for
funds
• Higher cost of debts, especially public spending
• Low public confidence
• Example: US debt crisis
