Data on lending and deposit taking are derived from stock data on the reporting countries’ liabilities and assets, excluding changes attributed to exchange rate movements.

As measured by differences in the outstanding liabilities of borrowing countries, defined as cross-border interbank accounts by residence of borrowing bank.

Excluding offshore centers.

Consisting of The Bahamas, Bahrain, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the Netherlands Antilles, Panama, and Singapore.

Transactors included in IFS measures for the world, to enhance global symmetry, but excluded from IFS measures for “All Countries.” The data comprise changes in the accounts of the Bank for International Settlements with banks other than central banks; and changes in identified cross-border interbank accounts of centrally planned economies (excluding Fund members).

Consisting of all developing countries except the eight Middle Eastern oil exporters (the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) for which external debt statistics are either not available or are small in relation to external assets.

Consisting of all developing countries except the eight Middle Eastern oil exporters (listed in footnote 6), Algeria, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

As measured by differences in the outstanding assets of depositing countries, defined as cross-border interbank accounts by residence of lending banks.

Data on lending and deposit taking are derived from stock data on the reporting countries’ liabilities and assets, excluding changes attributed to exchange rate movements.

As measured by differences in the outstanding liabilities of borrowing countries, defined as cross-border bank credits to nonbanks by residence of borrower.

Excluding offshore centers.

Consisting of The Bahamas, Bahrain, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the Netherlands Antilles, Panama, and Singapore.

Transactors included in IFS measures for the world, to enhance global symmetry, but excluded from IFS measures for “All Countries.” The data comprise changes in the accounts of international organizations (other than the Bank for International Settlements) with banks; and changes in identified cross-border bank accounts of nonbanks in centrally planned economies (excluding Fund members).

Calculated as the difference between the amount that countries report as their banks’ positions with nonresident nonbanks in their monetary statistics and the amounts that banks in major financial centers report as their positions with nonbanks in each country.

Consisting of all developing countries except the eight Middle Eastern oil exporters (the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) for which external debt statistics are either not available or are small in relation to external assets.

An agreement in principle to reschedule arrears at the end of 1982 and public debt falling due in 1983 was reached in January 1983, but the new government requested a renegotiation of this agreement.

The cumulative loan disbursements could never exceed $1.1 billion per annum.

The agreement also provided that the $750 million outstanding under the 1982 bridge loan would be repaid in early 1985 on the date of the first borrowing under the new loan; Argentina would pay at least $750 million before the end of 1984 to reduce interest arrears on Argentine public sector indebtedness; interest arrears on public sector indebtedness would be brought current during the first half of 1985; and foreign exchange would be made available to private sector borrowers so that interest on Argentine private sector indebtedness could be brought current during the first half of 1985.

Bolivia made payments of 10 percent of the amount to be consolidated until early September 1982. Since then, no more payments were made and the refinancing agreement on the April 1982-March 1983 maturities did not take effect.

The agreement would be finalized, subject to payment of interest arrears according to the schedule agreed on in March; the payment of the existing arrears on the 10 percent of principal due on the basis of the 1981 agreement; and the reaching of an agreement with the Fund. Since Bolivia was unable to make the final payment of $30 million in interest arrears by September 1983 as agreed, an interim agreement was reached with the banks in which Bolivia made a good faith deposit of $3 million and agreed to repay $30 million in monthly installments of $7.5 million each between October 1983 and January 1984. In return the banks agreed to extend the standstill agreement on repayments and regular maturities falling due after April 1, 1983 without penalty payments until January 31, 1984. After the expiration of the interim plan, Bolivia made two more payments of $7.5 million each in February and March 1984. On May 30, 1984, the Bolivian Government announced a temporary suspension of all foreign debt payment to private banks. On November 2, 1984, the Government renewed Bolivia’s request for a contractual arrangement to postpone all debt service to banks until the end of 1985.

On arrears as of June 5, 1983. By April 5, 1983, $28 million of arrears on interest payments was paid. The remainder was divided into five monthly payments.

First principal payment due 30 months after rescheduling.

The spreads over LIBOR/U.S. prime rate are 2⅛ percent/1⅞ percent for amounts on deposit with the Central Bank or—as generally acceptable maximums—for loans to public sector borrowers with official guarantee, Petrobras, and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD); 2¼ percent/2 percent as the generally acceptable maximums for public sector borrowers without official guarantee, private sector borrowers with Development Bank guarantee, and for commercial and investment banks under Resolution 63; and 2½ percent/2¼ percent as generally acceptable maximums for private sector borrowers.

The Central Bank stands ready to borrow the committed funds at either 2⅛ percent over LIBOR or 1⅞ percent over U.S. prime rate. For loans to other borrowers, the spreads agreed must be acceptable to the Central Bank, which indicated the following maximums for spreads over LIBOR to be generally acceptable (spreads over U.S. prime rate in parentheses): public sector borrowers with official guarantee as well as Petrobras and CVRD—2⅛ percent (1⅞ percent); public sector borrowers without official guarantee, private sector borrowers with Development Bank guarantee, and Resolution 63 loans to commercial and investment banks—2¼ percent (2 percent); private sector borrowers, including multinationals—2½ percent (2½ percent). Brazil is also prepared to pay a 0.5 percent commitment fee on undisbursed commitments, payable quarterly in arrears, and a 1.5 percent flat facility fee on amounts disbursed, payable at the time of disbursement.

Latest estimate of amount subject to rescheduling. Total may be lower, as some of Brazil’s debt to banks and suppliers may be eligible for rescheduling through Paris Club. A definitive accounting of Paris Club rescheduling will be available upon termination of bilateral agreements. In addition, trade financing was maintained at approximately $9.8 billion and interbank exposure was restored to $6 billion.

These rates also apply to the outstanding parts of the 1983 and 1984 agreements.

$150 million of the later maturities carries a guarantee from the World Bank for which it will charge commercial banks a fee ranging from 1⅛ percent to 1¼ percent.

There is also a facility fee of ⅛ percent per year.

Refers to those certificates which were issued by the Central Bank against existing arrears of the private sector (mainly with regard to imports) and which were held by the foreign commercial banks.

The banks agreed to provide Costa Rica with a revolving trade-related credit facility equivalent to 50 percent of interest payments actually made in 1983, which were either in arrears or had accrued in 1983.

1⅝ percent over “domestic reference rate,” equal to U.S. dollar certificate of deposit rate adjusted to reserves and insurance, -or a comparable yield for loans denominated in other currencies.

Payments of 100 percent of the maturities falling due were deferred until December 31, 1984, when 90 percent of the amount was refinanced.

Maximum amount; actual amount of financing may be lower, depending, inter alia, on oil prices. Spread calculated over one-month LIBOR.

In June 1982, banks indicated their intention to negotiate a refinancing agreement to convert the principal repayment into a longer-term loan prior to January 31, 1983, conditional upon successful completion of negotiations for an upper credit tranche program with the Fund. As negotiations with the Fund have not yet been completed, further deferments under the same conditions were agreed in July 1983 and January and July 1984.

Agreement in principle was tentatively reached in early 1983.

Original proposals were for repayments to start in March 1984, for the maturities due in 1983, and in March 1985, for the maturities due in 1984, but no agreement has yet been reached.

Grace period and maturity were measured from the date of the first disbursement of the refinancing loan.

The rescheduled amounts were rolled over on a short-term basis and were converted into medium-term loans on April 1, 1980 and on April 1, 1981 for the 1979–80 and 1980–81 reschedulings, respectively.

It was also agreed to consolidate all debt falling due April 1987 to March 1989; a spread of 2¼ percent over LIBOR will apply to the consolidated debt.

The repayment schedule is 4 quarterly payments of $1 million starting October 15, 1988 with the remainder to be paid in 25 equal quarterly installments.

In addition, the bank that was owed most of the arrears informally agreed to allow Liberia to repay the arrears in 12 monthly installments.

Includes about $50 million of arrears on overdrafts rescheduled on similar terms in late 1980.

The agreement is subject to Madagascar’s being current on interest payments. The agreement also envisages the provision of a revolving trade facility, for an amount equivalent to the principal payments falling due in 1983 ($12 million) or a one-year grace period on that amount.

Based on outstanding debt, including short-term debt, as of December 31, 1982, and including payments arrears on both short- and medium-term debt. Includes a special agreement for the rescheduling of Air Madagascar debt, secured by aircraft.

Agreement took effect with disbursement of a new loan in March 1983.

For the purpose of the rescheduling, Mexico’s public sector debt (short-, medium-, and long-term) excludes loans made, guaranteed, insured, or subsidized by official agencies in the creditor countries; publicly issued bonds, private placements (including Japanese yen-denominated registered private placements) and floating rate certificates of deposit and notes (including floating rate notes); debt to official multilateral entities; forward exchange and precious metal contracts; spot and lease obligations in respect of movable property, short-term import- and export-related trade credits; interbank obligations (including placements) of the foreign agencies and branches of Mexican banks, excluding guarantees on interbank placements; financing secured by legally recognized security interest in ships, aircraft, and drilling rigs; and the Central Bank’s obligations arising from the arrangements to liquidate interest payments in arrears.

The $5 billion loan was raised in the form of a medium-term international syndicated credit in which banks participated on the basis of their pro rata exposure to Mexico as of August 23, 1982. The loan document included a specific reference to a written explanation and confirmation from the Managing Director of the Fund with respect to $2-2.5 billion in financial assistance to be obtained from official creditors (other than the Fund), a requirement to provide information about the implementation of the financial program, a request on the part of the lending syndicate not to object to the final restructuring principles of the contemplated rescheduling operation, the customary cross-default clause, a specification of events of default (including the failure of Mexico to comply with the performance criteria agreed with the Fund in connection with the three-year extended arrangement, and nonmembership), and the implementation of the proposed mechanism to eliminate the interest arrears on the private sector debt. In addition, interbank exposure was restored and would be maintained through the end of 1986 at $5.2 billion.

Specifically, Mexican private borrowers owing interest on foreign bank debts payable in foreign currency and outstanding prior to September 1, 1982 could use the procedures proposed by the Mexican authorities to settle interest payments due in the period from August 1, 1982 to January 31, 1983. Settlement had to be made by depositing the local currency equivalent of the amount of interest due in foreign currency, at the controlled exchange rate of the date at which the deposit was constituted. Special foreign currency deposits were being opened by the foreign lenders with the Bank of Mexico, and the amounts of interest owed were being credited to these accounts. Ten percent of the outstanding balance in these accounts was paid to creditors on January 31, 1983, while the remainder had to be settled subject to the availability of foreign exchange. As of March 7, 1984, all outstanding arrears were eliminated.

Maturities shown relate to the date of the agreement in principle.

$1.2 billion of the 1983 $5 billion syndicated loan was to be prepaid in 1985 and the balance restructured to match the repayment schedule on the 1984 $3.8 billion new money loan. However, only $250 million was prepaid in 1985 and the remaining $950 million became the subject of repeated short-term rollovers.

There are no rescheduling fees and, under certain conditions, banks are allowed to switch their loans from dollars to home country currencies. Rescheduling of previously rescheduled debt falling due from 1987 to 1990 is conditional upon the achievement of Mexico’s own economic targets to be monitored on the basis of enhanced Article IV consultations with the Fund.

Including the restructuring of the $950 million prepayment which had been deferred since October 1, 1985.

These loans have an associated guarantee given by the World Bank in the later maturities equivalent to 50 percent of the nominal amount disbursed.

On short- and medium-term debt. Banks agreed to recalculate the interest due but unpaid at a spread of ½ percentage point above the actual LIBOR during the relevant period rather than at the higher spreads specified in the original contracts.

All four categories of debt are subject to interest accrual at a spread of 1 percent above LIBOR between December 15, 1980 and December 14, 1983; of 1¼ percent between December 15, 1983 and December 14, 1986; of 1½ percent between December 15, 1986 and December 14, 1990; and of 1¾ percent between December 15, 1990 and December 14, 1992. However, actual payments of interest can be limited to 7 percent a year for the agreement of 1980, and to 6 percent for the agreements of 1981 and 1982. Any excess of accrued interest will be added to a deferred interest payment pool which will be repaid whenever the accrued interest rate payments are less than 7 percent per annum, or, if this does not exhaust the pool by December 15, 1985, the balance will be amortized between 1986 and 1990 with 10 percent due in each of 1986 and 1987, and the rest during the remaining three years. The agreement also contains an interest recapture clause. If Nicaragua fulfills all the terms of the contract, the interest rate spread would be reduced by ⅛ percentage point for every $20 million of principal repaid after 1985 for up to 1 percentage point.

Backloaded in the last years.

At the end of the grace period, the repayment schedule provides for repayments of 1 percent of the total per quarter during the first year, 1½ percent per quarter during the second year, and equal quarterly installments of the remainder thereafter.

All rescheduling agreements cover only public sector obligations. Bank loans with creditor country guarantees were included in the Paris Club agreement, rather than in the bank reschedulings.

Under the 1978 and 1980 bank reschedulings, amounts were initially rolled over on a short-term basis to be consolidated into a medium-term loan at a specified date early in the following year.

In January 1980, Peru prepaid the 1979 bank rescheduling and the terms of the 1980 rescheduling were renegotiated.

$1.2 billion of working capital and $800 million of trade-related lines.

Signing of the agreement has been delayed, inter alia, by Peru’s nonpayment of interest since July 1984.

Ten years from the earlier of signing date or December 31, 1984, with five years of grace.

The agreement, which covers maturities due during March 26-December 31, 1981, was effective May 10, 1982. Short-term facilities and interbank deposits were specifically excluded.

A six-month trade credit, revolving up to three years, was extended under separate agreement; the amount of the credit was equivalent to 50 percent of interest due, and, in effect, amounted to $355 million.

A six-month trade credit, amounting to $180 million and revolving up to five years, was extended under separate agreement.

The short-term revolving credit facility of $335 million that was provided under the 1982 agreement was renewed for a period of up to five years. In addition, a new six-month credit facility, revolving up to three to four years, was provided in an amount equivalent to 4½ percent of the banks’ base exposure.

The remaining 20 percent is to be paid in eight equal quarterly installments starting in 1985.

The new agreement includes the option for the debtor to redenominate the debt in Swiss francs.

From April 1985.

Repayments are in 17 quarterly installments beginning April 1988.

Interest above $36 million a year will be capitalized.

The disbursement was to be based on letter-of-credit financing for imports. Other conditions for the first disbursement (50 percent) included making the first purchase under the Fund stand-by arrangement and the signing of the agreement on convertible Turkish lira deposits. For the second and third disbursements (25 percent each), other conditions included making the purchases under the Fund stand-by arrangement scheduled for November 1979 and March 1980, and the implementation of programs for third-party reimbursement claims and arrears on nonguaranteed debts.

All previously rolled over.

Holders were allowed to switch currency of denomination, with liability being switched from commercial banks to the Central Bank. The amount includes $2 billion rolled over prior to June 30, 1979 and $0.2 billion due in second half of 1979.

The amount rescheduled is equivalent to the sum of obligations rescheduled in June and August 1979, including a new syndicated credit extended at that time.

The years shown represent the extension to the grace period and maturity granted under the original rescheduling arrangement.

In March 1983, with the endorsement of the Steering Committee, Venezuela declared a deferral on principal payments of external public sector debt owed to foreign commercial banks. The amount of short-term debt involved was about $8.5 billion. The deferral was extended by successive 90-day periods until September 1984.

Maturity shown relates to the date of the agreement in principle. Payments are to be made in increasing amounts; in addition, Venezuela will make an initial payment of $750 million during the last quarter of 1986.

Conditional upon refinancing of $700 million in officially guaranteed loans.

The agreement provides for a 1¼ percent reduction of interest on the debt rescheduled in 1983 and 1984.

Bank debt refinancing agreement covers only syndicated loans (and other floating rate loans) without creditor country guarantee.

Under this agreement, Zaire would make monthly payments of $5 million to the London Club banks. This amount is to be increased to $6 million if U.S. producer prices for copper rise above the threshold price of $0.75 per pound.

Under this agreement, Zaire would make monthly payments of $2 million in the first two quarters of 1984, of $5 million in the third quarter, of $7 million in the fourth quarter, and of $4 million in the first quarter of 1985.

Under this agreement, Zaire would make monthly payments to the London Club banks amounting to $4.5 million for the period May-December 1985, increasing to $6 million for the first four months of 1986. The agreement specifies that monthly payments are to be revised by $0.5 million if the copper price (as quoted for London in the Fund’s International Financial Statistics) exceeds $0.66 per pound, by $1 million if the price exceeds $0.7 per pound, and by $1.5 million if it exceeds $0.74 per pound.

There will be monthly payments amounting to $3.5 million for the period May 1986-April 1987.

Arrears as of February 28, 1983 are to be paid in 12 equal monthly installments starting from January 15, 1985.

The remaining 10 percent amounting to $1.2 million is to be paid off in two equal installments in June and December 1985.

All lines of credit with Banco Nacional de Cuba were scheduled to remain at the level of February 28, 1983 until September 30, 1984.

A refinancing fee of ⅜ percent also applies.

These credit lines are to be renewed for the year between September 30, 1985 and September 30, 1986.

A facility fee of ⅛ percent also applies.

(In billions of U.S. dollars)

Sources and definitions: In John T. Cuddington (Capital Flight: Issues, Estimates, and Explanations, Princeton Studies in International Finance, No. 58, Princeton University Press, forthcoming, 1986), two different measures of capital flight are used: (1) as errors and omissions plus certain categories of “other short-term capital, other sector” from International Monetary Fund, Balance of Payments Yearbook, and (2) as gross capital outflows defined as changes in external indebtedness plus the net inflow of direct foreign investment minus the current account deficit and the change in total foreign reserve assets less gold plus net foreign assets of commercial banks; in Michael P. Dooley (“Capital Flight: A Response to Differences in Financial Risks,” Staff Papers, International Monetary Fund, Volume 33, December 1986), capital flight is measured as the difference between the estimated stock of total external claims (defined as sum of capital outflows, excluding direct investment, plus errors and omissions from the balance of payments plus the difference between external debt as calculated by the World Bank and external debt cumulated from the balance of payments) and “interest earning” claims measured as the capitalized value of investment income receipts; in Morgan Guaranty Trust Company (“LDC Capital Flight,” World Financial Markets, March 1986, pp. 13–15), capital flight is estimated as increases in gross external debt less current account deficits and less the building up of foreign assets by the banking systems and official monetary authorities plus net direct investment flows; in Institute of International Finance (IIF) (“External Asset Transactions by Residents of Debtor Countries,” Working Party on the Future of International Lending: Note by the Staff, June 12, 1986), net private sector asset flow is estimated as debt-creating flows, less the current account balance, and recorded official and monetary sector flows; and in the Fund’s international banking statistics (IBS), capital flight is defined as deposit taking from nonbanks in developing countries.

These statistics are compiled from the financing plans presented at the time of approval of World Bank loans by its Executive Board. The amounts of official cofinancing are, in most cases, firm commitments by that stage; export credits and private cofinancing amounts are, however, estimates, since such cofinancing is actually arranged as required for project implementation and gets firmed up a year or two later after Board approval. The statistics of private cofinancing in these tables for any fiscal year do not, therefore, reflect market placements in that year. In addition, Board plan figures may themselves be revised in the course of project implementation. This series incorporates such subsequent revisions as they become known.

Fiscal year July 1 to June 30.

The World Bank had no lending operations with Venezuela during this period.
