Demographic Trends - Fixed Interests

What this episode covers

Demographic trends such as declining or rapidly expanding populations, a bulging youth cohort or pronounced ageing can create risks to sovereign creditworthiness. Key channels of impact include stagnant potential GDP growth, unsustainable pension systems and public debt, and risks to social and political stability. Demographic forces are already affecting some sovereign ratings and Fitch Ratings believes they are likely to become a more important driver over the medium term.
