English term or phrase: to facilitate workouts
Given the massive deleveraging of public- and private-sector debt that lies ahead, and my continuing cynicism about the US political and legal system’s capacity *to facilitate workouts*, two or three years of slightly elevated inflation strikes me as the best of many very bad options, and far preferable to deflation.

eine Sanierung zu ermöglichen/Sanierungsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen?

Wer kann helfen?

Danke!

Wenn Du für *deleveraging* Abbau von Fremdkapital/Reduzierung des Verschuldungsgrads o.ä. nimmst, könntest Du für *workout* möglicherweise auch *Umschuldung* nehmen; Sanierungsmaßnahmen finde ich allerdings trotzdem noch beser ;-)

agree  buble: ich finde hier gehen beide vorgeschlagenen Lösungen; bei Politik, Finanz und Haushalt paßt Sanierung jedoch gut. Vielleicht auch etwas salopper: "Sanierungsmaßnahmen durchdrücken"

Reference: Workout in the financial/debt context

Reference information:
I think workout is meant here in a more concrete debt context:
Workout
Informal repayment or loan forgiveness arrangement between a borrower and creditors.
workout
1. The process of a debtor's meeting a loan commitment by satisfying altered repayment terms. For example, a firm in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings might reach an agreement with its creditors for ways in which the firm's obligations can be worked out.
2. A range of prices within which a transaction or a series of transactions is likely to take place. For example, a market maker might quote a price range within which he or she would attempt to buy or sell a large order of securities.

I know banks sometimes sell workout portfolios, i.e., nonperforming portfolios they want to get rid of; they're called Workout-Portfolios in German (see also Google results below), so I assume you can use Workout in German
