International Capital Flows and the World Debt Problem

Rüdiger Dornbusch and Stanley Fischer

Chapter 6 in Economic Policy in Theory and Practice, 1987, pp 211-254 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1983 the debt problems of developing countries, especially Latin America’s problems, appeared on the way to a solution. Despite the strains following first the Polish and then major Latin American borrower difficulties, the international financial system did not collapse. Moratoria quickly gave way to IMF adjustment programmes and debt rescheduling that provided the debtors with a way of avoiding default and meeting debt service liabilities by borrowing fresh money from the banking system.
