English term or phrase: the Italian debt end-game

As investors, we have been thinking about **the Italian debt end-game** ever since the eurozone sovereign crisis of 2011/12. So far, we have mainly seen two scenarios unfold:

1. The standard approach when faced with a high level of indebtedness is to implement product and labour market reforms which raise productivity and trend growth, combined with fiscal prudence. This was attempted to some extent during the Monti and Renzi governments but ultimately with limited impact. The implementation cost is exclusively carried by the local population in the form of a higher pensionable age, less job security, more competition, etc. At the current juncture, this path is unlikely to be revisited, except perhaps under external pressure.

2. The current government’s approach is one of broad-based fiscal stimulus, which is supposed to lead to stronger GDP growth through a high fiscal multiplier. While this looks painless on the surface, financial markets seem to have already passed their verdict by widening the BTP/Bund spread, signalling to the Italian government that this course of action will not lead to a long-term solution.

Wie würdet ihr das formulieren?

Danke euch! Ich fand den von Andrea vorgeschlagenen Ansatz ganz gut, bin aber letztlich bei meiner eigenen Lösung geblieben:

"Als Anleger denken wir seit der Eurozonen-Staatsschuldenkrise 2011/2012 über mögliche Auswege aus der italienischen Schuldenfalle nach."
