8 Yamin, I., Al_Kasasbeh, O., Alzghoul, A., Alsheikh, G. (2023) The Influence of Public Debt on Economic Growth: a Review of Literature POLICY SUGGESTIONS The findings of the present research have led to a number of suggestions for policymakers.
First, policymakers should not set the debt-to-GDP ratio at 90% as Reinhart and Rogoff have
suggested without prior investigation. The government should do a thorough analysis of the
nation's economic state, taking into account the aims of the borrowings, the sources of the
borrowings, and the nation's ability to repay. Due to own uniqueness and capacities of each
nation, a universal criterion cannot be imposed on all. A nation with high debt and low income
should consider reducing its debt until the national income is sufficient to cover the debt.
However, in the event that the nation needs an extra source of funding, increasing the tax rate
to replace the debt level is not a wise decision. Instead, the government should establish an
atmosphere conducive to investment in order to attract additional investments that contribute
to the national income.
