Debt intolerance [r]: The attitude of investors to a country's bond issue arising from a belief that the country in question is more likely than other equally indebted countries to default on the servicing of their public debt, as a result of which the market- determined discount rate on that country's bonds is increased to an extent known as a risk premium.
