Abstract: Abstract Developing countries have faced serious external debt difficulties since mid-1982 (see Table 5.1). Despite the initial approach to deal with such problems — based on a joint effort by creditors, debtors and international financial institutions — the external debt crisis persists. In most countries the benefits of adjustments efforts have so far been lower, and the economic and social costs higher, than initially expected. Partially as a consequence of the above, commercial banks have not been willing to resume lending on a voluntary basis. This has given rise to growing political pressures and concerns among the governments of creditor and debtor countries.
