This book was released on 1991 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debt crisis burst upon the world's attention in the summer of 1982 and has generated a great deal of discussion and debate. Most attention has been focused on schemes to solve the crisis, justifications for various forms of debt relief and reduction, and defenses of creditor positions. There has been substantial progress on a number of fronts in the debt crisis. One such example has been the substantial progress made in clarifying and refining the tax and regulatory environments for creditor banks in their own countries. The authors have organized the book with the summary material in the beginning: descriptions of the debt reduction operations and the responses of the commercial banks to them, with particular attention to the influences of the tax and regulatory environments faced in each jurisdiction. The latter part presents much more detail of each creditor country's regulations and is intended to serve as a reference. This book should be a valuable resource for further research and analysis of the debt crisis and the role played by the regulatory environment.
