Methods of state debt management

The paper states that using such tool of covering budget expenditure as public debt requires good governance and effective control from the state that involves development of a range of instruments, methods and mechanisms and passing relevant legislation while taking into account historical conditions. The paper presents the classification and analysis of existing methods of public debt management and their special features. The author argues that the choice of a method is directly driven by the structure and composition of debt instruments that form debt portfolio at government level. Using the methods of public debt management promotes development of an efficient debt policy by reducing public debt and optimizing debt service costs.
