Zusammenfassung: | In 2001-03 the municipal bond market in
Mexico was among the most active in the developing world.
Government officials had found a way to dramatically enhance
the creditworthiness of local government debt without using
sovereign guarantees. The technique, adapted in part from
private sector 'future flow' financing deals,
enabled a state or local government to earn significantly
higher credit ratings for bond issues than for its normal
balance sheet debt. Many other developing countries have
turned to Mexico as a source of innovation that may have
application in their own markets. |
