Data on changes in bank claims and liabilities 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 plus international 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 identified cross-border bank accounts of centrally planned economies (excluding Fund members) and of international organizations.

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 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 7 above), 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 bank plus international bank deposits of nonbanks by residence of depositor.

IMF-based data on cross-border lending by banks are derived from the Fund’s international banking statistics (IBS) (cross-border interbank accounts by residence of borrowing bank plus international bank credits to nonbanks by residence of borrower), excluding changes attributed to exchange rate movements. BIS-based data are derived from quarterly statistics contained in the BIS’s International Banking Developments; the figures shown are adjusted for the effects of exchange rate movements. Differences between the IMF data and the BIS data are mainly accounted for by the different coverages. The BIS data are derived from geographical analyses provided by banks in the BIS reporting area. The IMF data derive cross-border interbank positions from the regular money and banking data supplied by member countries, while the IMF analysis of transactions with nonbanks is based on data from geographical breakdowns provided by the BIS reporting countries and additional banking centers. Neither the IBS series nor the BIS series are fully comparable over time because of expansion of coverage.

Excluding the seven offshore centers (The Bahamas, Bahrain, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the Netherlands Antilles, Panama, and Singapore).

Excluding bridge loans.

These Data Exclude bridging loans.

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

Agreement in principle as of December 1982.

Commitments in 1986 could have been disbursed upon contingencies only through June 30, 1988.

A bridge loan of $500 million was disbursed in December 1986 and repaid when the first concerted lending disbursement of $3.5 billion was disbursed in April 1987.

Commitments in 1986 could have been disbursed upon contingencies only through April 16, 1988.

Commitments in 1986 could have been disbursed upon contingencies only through March 30, 1988.

Utilization of these facilities varied over time, but the amounts of the facilities had to be reconstituted on a six-month basis.

Private sector only; includes errors and omissions.

For the United States, this item comprises primarily changes in the valuation of foreign reserves associated with exchange rate changes, monetization or demonetization of gold, and allocations of SDRs. For Japan, this item equals the difference between the overall balance of monetary movements and the sum of official reserves (which are listed without valuation adjustments) and net monetary flows of banks (which are listed under monetary movements). This difference primarily reflects valuation changes of official foreign assets. For Germany, this item is the balancing item in respect of the Bundesbank’s external position.

Includes both reserves of monetary authorities and other short-term transactions of public authorities. Positive sign indicates increase in assets. For the United States, includes official reserves minus U.S. liabilities to foreign official reserve agencies. For Japan, changes in gold and foreign exchange reserves. For Germany, changes in net foreign assets of the Bundesbank.

Differentials shown should be treated as indicative because they conceal intercountry differences in the maturity structure of long-term rates. Thus, for instance, the U.S. long-term rate is the one applicable for the ten-year federal government bonds, while the German rate is that applicable for all bonds of the public authorities with maturities over three years.

Arrangements approved (in principle or definitely) before January 1, 1986 were reported in Maxwell Watson and others, International Capital Markets: Developments and Prospects, World Economic and Financial Surveys (Washington: International Monetary Fund, December 1986).

For public debt, pre-December 9, 1982, debt originally falling due prior to January 1, 1986, that has been previously restructured and debt originally falling due after December 31, 1985 that has not been previously restructured. Excluded is indebtedness under the 1983 and 1985 term credit agreements and the 1985 trade credit and deposit facility, which is rescheduled on different terms. For private sector borrowers, the restructuring of principal maturities of pre-December 9, 1982, indebtedness maturing subsequent to December 31, 1985, including previously restructured maturities.

The agreement provides also for repricing and retiming of public sector debt. The savings to Brazil from repricing, which will consist of a reduction in the spread over the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) from their current range (1.125-2.414) to , are estimated at $100 million in 1988 and $380 million in 1989. Retiming of interest periods from a quarterly to a six monthly basis is estimated to provide relief of $600 million in 1988.

Excluding (i) about $1 billion corresponding to repayments on voluntary lending after January 1, 1983, falling due in 1988–93; and (ii) amounts under switching operations (see footnote 6).

Includes at least $2,850 million in parallel financing with the World Bank; two cofinancing facilities with the World Bank for up to $500 million and $210 million, respectively; and new money bonds for up to $1 billion.

Banks will be permitted to switch up to $1.8 billion of interbank commitments to trade commitments during 1988–90.

Interest periods under all agreements were temporarily converted from the existing periods to periods of 12 months providing relief in 1988 of an estimated $415 million.

Spreads and guarantee fees would revert to their previous levels should Chile ask for new money “on a concerted basis” before the end of 1989.

Amendments also allow for debt-for-debt exchanges and debt buy-backs; repayments in Chilean currency; and the pledge of collaterals to facilitate debt exchanges, hedging operations, and the raising of voluntary new money. New money may be collateralized in amounts of up to $100 million in 1988, $200 million in 1989, and $200 million a year, thereafter, with an aggregate limit of $500 million outstanding at any one point after 1989. Not more than $200 million of new money can be collateralized with exportable assets. The limit on collateral for risk-management techniques is $150 million. Up to $500 million may be used in cash buy-backs or in exchange of new collateralized debt for old; not more than $2 billion of existing debt may be extinguished in this manner.

Amendments to the 1985 new money agreement also allow for an increase, as of January 1, 1989, of $35 million in relending. In order to facilitate the reduction in spreads, the fee paid by banks on the World Bank guarantee, under the 1985 cofinancing agreement, was reduced by ÂĽ of 1 percentage point.

Eligible debt includes debt contracted before November 1, 1988, and previously rescheduled obligations.

If on December 31, 1987, Honduras is current in its payment obligations, the margin over LIBOR will be reduced to 1 percentage point.

Amount of debt on which terms were modified is not known because repayments made during 1985–87 have not been identified.

Including the restructuring of the $950 million prepayment that 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.

Amount still to be determined. Amortization of rescheduled amounts subject to relending at the choice of creditors, but within certain limits of the domestic credit program established by the Mexican authorities.

In the event, only $80 million was consolidated.

Spread will increase to 1ÂĽ percentage points at the end of the grace period.

Initial maturity of one year and a spread of 1ÂĽ percent; the loan will be automatically converted to a medium-term loan if certain conditions are fulfilled.

Of which $263 million is in bearer treasury bonds, which were restructured under the 1986 agreement, and are not included in this agreement.

Net of $24 million of prepayment required under the agreement.

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 amounting to $3.5 million for the period May 1986-April 1987.

There will be monthly payments of $3 million for the May 1987-May 1988 period, except for July 1987 when the due payment is $3.5 million.

The spread over LIBOR is expected to remain l3/4 percentage points for the first three years, and then decline to 1¼ percentage points for the next five years, and to 1¼ percentage points for the final four years, subject to the borrowers’ compliance with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

It should be noted that the term “country” used in this study does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice. The term also covers some territorial entities that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.
