  • 3/7/00 M2LMGR
Summary: Analyses the issue of whether a debt overhang dampens initiatives for investment and leads debtors to channel more resources than otherwise into consumption. Highlights the 1988 Bolivian debt buyback to show that market-based buybacks result in countries being forced to pay average debt prices to retire marginal debt. Considers whether the Brady Plan may have more to offer than more limited market-based schemes.
