Sovereign Insolvency examines the ethical issues that arise from state bankruptcy. Are states bound by any moral obligation to pay their debts and how sovereign insolvencies should be treated? Now we are seeing an unprecedented piling up of sovereign debt and issuing of electronic money by central banks. To be exact, the scale of public debt is not entirely unprecedented. Individual states have been more heavily indebted, and their central banks have financed the deficits even more liberally than what is going on now on a global scale. However, we have never before seen a pandemic of growing public debt funded by central banks. In the case of an individual state establishing its fiscal policy on the central bank’s note printing the historical outcome has been pretty straightforward: economic unrest and instability, often state bankruptcy. Will history repeat itself on a global scale? What are the ethical implications of state bankruptcy?

This paper examines the main issues involved in translating domestic bankruptcy procedures to the sovereign context. It considers some of the principles by which domestic bankruptcy procedures operate, and the extent to which they apply to international lending. Two recent proposals are considered in more detail, that of Krueger (A New Approach to Sovereign Debt Restructuring) and that of Pettifor (ch. 9/11, Resolving International Debt Crises - the Jubilee Framework for International Insolvency). The paper also considers the question of the ex ante effects of a procedure which makes default less costly, and concludes that despite a negative impact on the ability to borrow, the overall welfare effect need not be negative.

This paper describes the evolution of ideas to apply bankruptcy reorganization principles to sovereign debt crises. Our focus is on policy proposals between the late 1970s and Anne Krueger's (2001) proposed "Sovereign Debt-Restructuring Mechanism," with brief reference to the economics literature on sovereign debt. We describe the perceived inefficiencies that motivate proposals, and how proposals seek to change debtor and creditor incentives. We find that there has been a moving concensus on what constitutes the underlying problem, but not on how to fix it. The range of proposed approaches remains broad and only recently shows some signs of narrowing.

The insolvency of states is by no means a rare or new phenomenon. Despite this, it still seems to be widely felt that states do not go bankrupt. As of yet, there are no regulated insolvency proceedings for states. This book examines the current mechanisms for solving sovereign debt crises. It presents an analysis of their weaknesses and shows possibilities for dealing with such crises in the future. In this respect, the work focusses on crisis resolution measures at European level: the aid packages for Greece, the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism, the European Financial Stabilisation Facility and the European Stability Mechanism. These are examined for their appropriateness as well as whether they contain elements of insolvency law. Ultimately, it explores possible insolvency proceedings for states at EU level and their implementation options

Underlying this short paper are two propositions. The first is that three forms of exclusion from bankruptcy laws or bankruptcy-like procedures represent a serious threat to the global financial system that has developed since the Second World War. The exclusions are sovereign default, SIFI default, and default on derivative contracts. The second proposition is that the danger to the financial system represented by these exclusions is greatly increased by the fact that the three excluded phenomena are strongly interactive and reinforcing. These two propositions were the subject of a symposium held at The University of Texas School of Law in February of 2013.The excellent conference organized by Professor Christopher Paulus addresses sovereign default directly and implicates the SIFI and derivative defaults indirectly. In this paper I will write in a preliminary way about sovereign debt, including the United States experience with debt at the level of individual states of the United States; and about the derivative exemption from bankruptcy as it relates to sovereign debt.

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of pertinent issues on sovereign debt restructurings, based on a newly constructed database. This is the first complete dataset of sovereign restructuring cases, covering the six decades from 1950–2010; it includes 186 debt exchanges with foreign banks and bondholders, and 447 bilateral debt agreements with the Paris Club. We present new stylized facts on the outcome and process of debt restructurings, including on the size of haircuts, creditor participation, and legal aspects. In addition, the paper summarizes the relevant empirical literature, analyzes recent restructuring episodes, and discusses ongoing debates on crisis resolution mechanisms, credit default swaps, and the role of collective action clauses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased insolvency risks, especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are vastly overrepresented in hard-hit sectors. Without government intervention, even firms that are viable a priori could end up being liquidated—particularly in sectors characterized by labor-intensive technologies, threatening both macroeconomic and social stability. This staff discussion note assesses the impact of the pandemic on SME insolvency risks and policy options to address them. It quantifies the impact of weaker aggregate demand, changes in sectoral consumption patterns, and lockdowns on firm balance sheets and estimates the impact of a range of policy options, for a large sample of SMEs in (mostly) advanced economies.
