Abstract:
External loans, badly used, don’t help the economic development of a country but can have as negative
effects the disturbance of the activities in the economy, the reduction of the access to external loans, the flight of
the capitals, the diminution of the internal economies and implicitly the economic decrease. Therefore, at the
level of each country, solid institutions are needed that can manage the external debt so as to minimize the risk
of crises, in order to avoid the increase of external taxation or the need for a rapid increase of the external debt.
External debt management has repercussions in many areas of economic policy, and foreign exchange, trade,
monetary and budgetary policies directly influence the volume of external loans that need to be contracted. The
aim of the paper is to analyze level and structure of Romania’s debt and to reveal those methods of external debt
management which bring economic benefits to our country
