Self-Financed Buy-Backs and Asset Exchanges

Michael Dooley

IMF Staff Papers, 1988, vol. 35, issue 4, 714-722

Abstract: Buy-backs of external debt that are financed by the debtor through asset sales generally result in unchanged or lower market prices for remaining debt. The contractual value of debt is reduced by some multiple of the market value of assets sold. The use of assets as collateral for new debt that is exchanged for old debt has effects equivalent to buy-backs financed by sales of the same assets.
