Emerging Markets at a Crossroad and the Continuing Debate Over Crisis Resolution

Brussels, Belgium

September 12-13, 2002

Partners

Overview

The seminar dealt with the challenge of resolving sovereign debt crises. Participants reviewed the need to develop mechanisms for a predictable and orderly restructuring of debt in order to strengthen the international financial system. Discussions emphasized how such mechanisms should address problems that can delay and prolong restructuring, eroding the value of the claim and increasing the hardships of debtors.  Consensus emerged regarding the importance of creating fair and transparent workout procedures that are effective in eliminating the threat of rogue creditors. The impact that such reforms can have on the accurate pricing of risk were also reviewed in details during the course of this meeting.
