With the waiver of immunity, sovereign debtors who already face severe disruption from short-term creditors grabbing their currency reserves are also exposed to litigious creditors trying to seize what assets they can in a `race of the vultures'. Shielding sovereign debtors from inter-creditor conflict by authorised standstills on payments doubtless runs some risk of debtor's moral hazard. But the lack of an orderly procedure for resolving sovereign liquidity crises means that the IMF is de facto forced to bail out countries in trouble. This leads to both debtor and creditor moral hazard, as investors lend without monitoring, knowing that their investments are essentially guaranteed. The strategic case for legalising standstills is to rescue the international financial system from this `time consistent' trap.   719 visits has been made through our site.   Joint BIS-IMF-OECD-World Bank statistics on external debt   URL: http://www.oecd.org/dac/debt/   This site provides the latest international data available, mainly from creditor sources, on the external debt of developing and transition countries and territories.
