The Impact of Using DSS for National Debt Management

(1998)

The thesis focuses on decision-making in the Egyptian Cabinet. It assesses the changes that took place before and after the introduction of DSS in the context of the protracted national problem of debt management and economic reform programmes. It evaluates the impact and defines the criteria for measuring decisions made by top policy makers. The study considers IT tools and methods that support debt management techniques such as debt swaps and currency portfolio management in addition to market opportunities and for strengthening debtors' negotiating powers with creditors.
