The Government's Foreign Debt in the Argentine Crisis
Shigeto Kitano
Review of Development Economics, 2005, vol. 9, issue 3, 368-379
Abstract:
Though the government had adopted a currency board regime since 1991, the Argentine economy suffered a currency crisis in 2002. It is shown that currency crises can arise, even under currency board systems in which the central bank has enough international reserves to respond to arbitrary withdrawals by individuals. The model implies that a government's rapid accumulation of foreign debt should be included as a major predictor of currency crises.
