This book addresses the financing of government budgets with non-debt-creating flows through risk-sharing capital market instruments.

Rizvi, Bacha, and Mirakhor guide readers chronologically through the unfolding effects of macroeconomic policy implemented to reduce crippling sovereign debt, increase government financing, and guide governments to the path of economic progress.
