Assessing the Appropriate Size of Relief in Sovereign Debt Restructuring

Abstract: This paper offers a principles based approach for assessing the appropriate size of debt relief in sovereign debt restructuring initiatives. We show how to calculate the amount of debt relief that restores sustainability with high probability subject to the satisfaction of sovereign debt restructuring principles. The amount of debt relief is deemed appropriate if it leads to trajectories of economically and politically feasible fixed points for the primary surplus to GDP ratio that satisfy the government's int… Show more

“…The quantification of uncertainty in DSA has only recently received attention by international organizations and academia (Barnhill and Kopits, 2003;Celasun et al, 2006;Guzman and Lombardi, 2018). We represent stochastic variables on a discrete time-and state-space scenario tree to model endogenous risk and term premia, contribute a measure of tail risk of the two key DSA variables, and trace the tradeoffs in a parametric optimization model.…”

“…Given that any analysis is made under uncertainty, the implication is that the assessment of debt sustainability must be stochastic (see IMF, 2013;Celasun, Debrun, and Ostry, 2006;Zenios, 2015, 2017;Guzman and Heymann, 2015;Guzman and Lombardi, 2017).…”

“…Aunque no hay una manera inequívoca de medirlo, las dos primeras ruedas representaron un alivio significativo en cuanto a la quita de capital e intereses, y nueva estructura de la deuda con mejores plazos y condiciones. De esta forma se retomó un sendero sustentable de la deuda externa que no ahogó la recuperación interna, siendo que no restringió la capacidad de realizar políticas autónomas orientadas al crecimiento y, a partir de este, viabilizar la cancelación de los compromisos (Guzman, 2016) 112 . En otras palabras, se soltaron las amarras y condicionalidades ganando autonomía económica.…”
