Debt-for-development Exchanges: The Origins of a Financial Technique

Ross Buckley, University of New South Wales

Abstract

Debt-for-development exchanges grew out of debt-equity exchanges and now include debt-for-nature, debt-for-education and debt2health exchanges, among other variants. This history and analysis of the evolution of this idea sheds considerable light upon the technique and allows a more nuanced appreciation of it.
