| Tiivistelmä: | In any debt swap a country must surrender an asset to extinguish a liability. To retire its foreign debt, government must first purchase internationally traded assets from the domestic private sector. How this purchase is financed has important macroeconomic implications. Money-financed swaps can induce deprecation of the parallel exchange rate, temporary current-account deficit, and reserve losses. Bond-financed swaps can increase interest payments, since domestic debt typically carries real interest than foreign debt. If swaps lead to sustained domestic debt accumulation, which agents perceive will be monetized, the inflation rate will rise as soon as the swap program begins. |
