This paper aims to contribute to the discourse by examining the factorsthat precipitate domestic debt restructurings (DDRs) and their implications for macro-fiscal outcomes. We findthat: (i) DDRs are less effective than external debt restructurings (EDRs) in reducing public debt and interestpayments; and (ii) they entail deeper, more persistent costs to output and domestic credit. Still, well-designed RECOMMENDED CITATION:Atsebi, J., Menkulasi, J. (2025). Tread with Care: Benefits and Costs ofDomestic Debt Restructurings. IMF Working Paper, WP/25/179.
