VEGA 1/0679/23 Indebtedness of economic entities and countries in the European Union. Project leader, 2023 - 2026. The result of the indebtedness of countries in the current period is growing debt and growing indebtedness of economic entities, especially as a result of the pandemic and rising prices. There are problems associated with debt repayment and an increased risk of default - an increase in the risk premium. At the macro level, the government is losing room for maneuver for fiscal stimulation of the economy - especially in a situation of low interest rates and high inflation. The indebtedness of Slovak households is growing at the highest rate among EU countries and requires further measures in the area of ​​macroprudential policy. The project will focus on analyzing the sustainability of public debt, finding solutions for eliminating the growth of household debt and measures for the stability of budget revenues with regard to the prepared reforms based on the approved Recovery and Resilience Plan in the Slovak Republic and EU countries. It will propose systemic solutions in the area of ​​indebtedness of countries, households and companies. It will present new schemes in the area of ​​tax administration and collection with regard to Ricardian equivalence.
