Abstract
A simplified macroeconomic framework is developed for the ‘fiscal gap’, which is considered to be an important stumbling block for adjustment with growth in highly-indebted developing countries. Distinctive characteristics of a fiscally constrained economy are compared with those of economies constrained either by the availability of savings or foreign exchange. Tentative implications for external conditionality accompanying debt-relief measures are derived.
