Download or read book efficient debt reduction written by Jeffrey Sachs and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debt reduction poses collective action problems that cannot be efficiently handled in the framework of voluntary market-based approaches. Instead we need concerted debt restructuring, based on below-market interest rates -- perhaps linked with credit enhancement by official creditors -- to provide the most direct mechanism for efficient, equitable sharing of losses.
