Book Synopsis efficient debt reduction by : Jeffrey Sachs
Download or read book efficient debt reduction written by Jeffrey Sachs and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debt reduction poses collective action problems that cannot be efficiently handled in the framework of voluntary market-based approaches. Instead we need concerted debt restructuring, based on below-market interest rates -- perhaps linked with credit enhancement by official creditors -- to provide the most direct mechanism for efficient, equitable sharing of losses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debt- overhang disincentive may not be as important as the broader problem of debtors' credit constraints in international capital markets. For severely indebted low- income countries, the best strategy is probably to replace nonconcessional debt with new concessional loans.

Book excerpt: Arnone and Presbitero analyze the design and the implementation of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, by pointing out its main drawbacks and suggesting a different approach to debt sustainability and debt relief programs. The international community bears large costs to finance debt relief programs, so an efficient use of these resources should require a careful cost-benefit analysis.
Book Synopsis Delivering on Debt Relief by : Nancy Birdsall
Download or read book Delivering on Debt Relief written by Nancy Birdsall and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-17 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study brings readers up to date on the complicated and controversial subject of debt relief for the poorest countries of the world. What has actually been achieved? Has debt relief provided truly additional resources to fight poverty? How will the design and timing of the "enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative" affect the development prospects of the world's poorest countries and their people? The study then moves on to address several broader policy questions: Is debt relief a step toward more efficient and equitable government spending, building better institutions, and attracting productive private investment in the poorest countries? Who pays for debt relief? Is there a case for further relief? Most important, how can the case for debt relief be sustained in a broader effort to combat poverty in the poorest countries?
Book Synopsis Sovereign Debt Relief Schemes and Welfare by : Mr.Aasim M. Husain
Download or read book Sovereign Debt Relief Schemes and Welfare written by Mr.Aasim M. Husain and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows that concerted debt reduction may be welfare-improving even when the investment disincentive effect of a debt overhang is not large enough to place the debtor country on the wrong side of the debt Laffer curve. Whether the appropriate relief scheme involves debt reduction or new money, however, depends on whether investment disincentives or liquidity constraints dominate. It is shown that, except under very special circumstances, mixed policy packages involving both debt and liquidity relief may not yield the desired results.
Book Synopsis Debt Relief for the Poorest Countries by : Yiagadeesen Samy
Download or read book Debt Relief for the Poorest Countries written by Yiagadeesen Samy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debt problems of poor countries are receiving unprecedented attention. Both federal and non-governmental organizations alike have been campaigning for debt forgiveness for poor countries. The governments of creditor nations responded to that challenge at a meeting sponsored by the G-7, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank, all of which upgraded debt relief as a policy priority. Their initiatives provided for generous interpretations of these nations' abilities to sustain debt, gave them opportunities to qualify for debt relief more rapidly, and linked debt relief to broader policies of poverty reduction. Despite this, the crisis has only deepened in the first years of the new millennium. This brilliant group of contributions assesses why this has occurred. In plain language, it considers why debt relief has been so long in coming for poor countries. It evaluates the cost of a persistent overhang in debt for those countries. It also examines, head on, whether enhanced debt relief initiatives offer a permanent exit from over-indebtedness, or are merely a short-term respite. Above all, this volume for the first time addresses the issues on the ground: that is, the views and opinions about debt relief on the part of leaders in advanced nations, and the probability of further support for the most impoverished lands. In this approach, the editors and contributors have made an explicit and successful attempt to be inclusive and relevant at all stages of the analysis. This volume covers the full range of the poorest countries, with contributions by John Serieux, Lykke Anderson and Osvaldo Nina, Befekadu Degefe, Ligia Maria Castro-Monge, and Peter B. Mijumbi. Collectively, they offer a sobering scenario: unless measures are put in place now, in anticipation of further crises, the future of the very poorest nations will remain bleak and troublesome.

Book Synopsis Voluntary Debt Reduction by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Voluntary Debt Reduction written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1988-09-06 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an economy with a debt overhang, investment depends on expected tax rates. On the other hand, expected tax rates depend on the debt’s face value. Therefore investment depends on the face value of debt. I show that this may lead to a positive or negative association between debt and investment depending on the degree of international capital mobility and attitudes toward risk. There may also exist multiple equilibria; with high and low investment levels. The paper explores the desirability of debt reduction in this environment. First, it characterizes circumstances in which debt reduction is desirable from the collective point of view of the creditors. Second, it formulates the forgiveness decision as a noncooperative game among creditors and explores the scope for debt reduction as an outcome of this game.
Book Synopsis Sovereign Debt Restructurings 1950-2010 by : Mr.Udaibir S. Das
Download or read book Sovereign Debt Restructurings 1950-2010 written by Mr.Udaibir S. Das and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a comprehensive survey of pertinent issues on sovereign debt restructurings, based on a newly constructed database. This is the first complete dataset of sovereign restructuring cases, covering the six decades from 1950–2010; it includes 186 debt exchanges with foreign banks and bondholders, and 447 bilateral debt agreements with the Paris Club. We present new stylized facts on the outcome and process of debt restructurings, including on the size of haircuts, creditor participation, and legal aspects. In addition, the paper summarizes the relevant empirical literature, analyzes recent restructuring episodes, and discusses ongoing debates on crisis resolution mechanisms, credit default swaps, and the role of collective action clauses.
Book Synopsis Is Debt Relief Efficient? by : Serkan Arslanalp
Download or read book Is Debt Relief Efficient? written by Serkan Arslanalp and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Less Developed Countries (LDCs) announce debt relief agreements under the Brady Plan, their stock markets appreciate by an average of 60 percent in real dollar terms a $42 billion increase in shareholder value. In contrast, there is no significant stock market increase for a control group of LDCs that do not sign Brady agreements. The results persist after controlling for IMF programs, trade liberalizations, capital account liberalizations, and privatization programs. The stock market appreciations successfully forecast higher future net resource transfers, investment and growth. Creditors also benefit from the Brady Plan. Controlling for other factors, stock prices of US commercial banks with significant LDC loan exposure rise by 35 percent a $13 billion increase in shareholder value. The results suggest that debt relief can generate large efficiency gains when the borrower suffers from debt overhang"--NBER website
