Countries with debt-servicing difficulties have seen their external debt expand from $538 billion in 1982 to $726 billion at the end of 1988, a sum now equal to 47 percent of the GNP of these countries. During the same period, the management and staff of the International Monetary Fund have been focusing much of their attention on the analytic issues surrounding this explosion of debt. Their efforts have done much to clarify thinking about debt and what it means to the world financial system. This volume presents a sample of the work of the Fund and that of world-renowned scholars on these issues and describes debt initiatives and debt-reduction techniques that hold the best promise thus far for finding a lasting solution to the problems of debtor countries.
