Eurozone sovereign debt restructuring: keeping the vultures at bay
探讨了欧元区主权债务重组的机制,提出一种结合制度与契约方法的混合方案,包括集体行动条款、欧洲稳定机制条约修正案及国家或有合同,旨在解决债务积压问题。
The eurozone debt crisis has stimulated lively debate on mechanisms for sovereign debt restructuring. The immediate threat of exit and the break-up of the currency union may have abated; but the problem of dealing with significant debt overhang remains. After considering two broad approaches—institutional versus contractual—we look at a hybrid solution that combines the best of both. In addition to debt contracts with collective action clauses, this includes a key amendment to the Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism, together with innovative state-contingent contracts and a special purpose vehicle to market them.
