A sovereign-default cascade across multiple countries
Window: 13 Oct 2027 – 13 Oct 2029
LevelCritical
What this is
Multiple sovereign defaults, debt-restructurings, or IMF-emergency programs within a short window (12-24 months), with contagion effects spreading across emerging markets or peripheral developed-economy sovereigns. F-CT-10 LOCAL-ADDITIVITY breaks down because sovereign-risk correlation surges. Distinct from debt-deleveraging-climax (which is a single long-cycle event): this is the discrete contagion event within a longer cycle.
