Is The Cross-Guarantee Constitutional?, Jennifer J. Alexander

Vanderbilt Law Review

Banks play a unique and important role in our economy. They serve tremendously useful economic functions; for this reason, our society has become irretrievably dependent upon them. Banks safe- guard our life savings and business profits, and provide capital to those who need it to buy, invest, or grow.' Although these functions could be performed without an intermediary-private citizens may freely lend their cash to other private citizens who need it-banks are viewed as safer and more efficient controllers of cash flow. They allow depositors to pool their cash resources collectively in one institution; then, retaining a relatively low amount …

multilateralfinanciailn stitutions (MFIs) have taken responsibilityf or

advancing the environmental agenda set forth at the Summit. Dr.

important environmental issues. Second, MFIs are able to support

policy reforms within developing countries to ensure environmental

standards and issues are properly addressed. Finally, MFIs can

Foreign Affairs Powers And "The First Crisis Of The 21st Century": Congressional Vs. Executive Authority And The Stabilization Plan For Mexico, James D. Humphrey Ii

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Note discusses whether the United States can meet such a crisis under current legal arrangements. Can officials respond quickly, forcefully, and effectively? The Mexican Peso Crisis was the first test of this ability, and therefore is examined as a case study. As the United States attempted to respond to the crisis on its border, several questions about the practical and constitutional propriety of the effort emerged. There is clearly no longer a basic consensus surrounding security issues as existed in the Cold War years. Indeed, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, circumstances forced a …

Cross-Border Lending: What's Different This Time, Lee C. Buchheit

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article is based upon the author's lecture entitled "The Next Wave of Cross-Border Lending" delivered in connection with the Meredith Lectures at McGill University in April 1994.* The subject of that lecture, and of this article, is how cross-border lending to less developed countries (LDCs) in the 1990s differs from the last major period of such lending in the late 1970s. It is surely a testament to the accelerated obsolescence of modem financial commentary that the author's April 1994 lecture - delivered in the middle of a boom in cross-border lending - has already been followed by a bust …

Towards A Sovereign Debt Work-Out System;, Rory Macmillan

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In a future sovereign debt crisis, debt restructurings are inevitable simply because there is no alternative. Private lending becomes simply unavailable. The commercial banks were asked to lend to Mexico in early 1995 as part of the U.S. Government rescue plan, but the money never materialized.3 The banks' experience of involuntary lending during the 1980s debt crisis was so unpleasant that they are unlikely to increase exposure to a troubled debtor in a crisis today. Other sources of finance are no more likely to yield support. Mexico was unable to return to the capital markets until six months after the …

Restructuring Strategies For Mexican Eurobond Debt, Duncan N. Darrow, Peter V. Darrow, Douglas A. Doetsch, Miguel Jauregui-Rojas

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Unless the international capital markets become widely receptive to refinancing Mexican Eurobonds, by early to mid 1996, the holders of these Eurobonds - Mexico's new "bondholder constituency" - may find themselves at the center of a restructuring process encompassing a significant portion of the $13 billion of Eurobond debt outstanding. This article discusses strategies for restructuring.

Mexico's Banks After The December 1994 Devaluation--A Chronology Of The Government's Response, Roy A. Karaoglan, Mike Lubrano

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The immediate effects of the December 1994 peso devaluation and the period of high interest rates and economic recession that followed had important repercussions for the Mexican banking and financial system. Since the onset of the crisis, the Mexican government has undertaken a number of important actions designed to assure adequate capitalization of financial institutions and continued public confidence in the banking system. The goal throughout has been to avoid a banking crisis that would exacerbate the contraction in the real economy and to set the stage for a recovery of the financial system based on sound institutions and efficient …
