- We present a debt sustainability index for 46 emerging & frontier markets to flag countries with high risk of distress
- With 27 variables, we divide the scorecard into: fiscal policy & debt dynamics; debt stock & flow; debt composition
- We then devise a composite index to quantify debt sustainability risk for each country on a relative basis
