Nadalje, u tom ugovoru predviđa se da zemlje čiji opći vladin dug vlade premašuje 60% BDP-a "moraju taj nivo zaduženosti smanjivati po prosječnoj ciljanoj stopi od 1/20 godišnje".
Furthermore, the treaty also stipulates that countries whose general government debt exceeds 60% of GDP "shall reduce it at an average rate of 1/20th per year as a benchmark".
