Abstract

After a historical revision of the Brazilian foreign debt renegotiation procedures
from 1983 to 1987, this article discusses five controversial technical points: the spread’s
calculus and restructuring method, internal re-lending of the restructured amortizations, foreign
court’s jurisdiction, IMF monitorization, and debt equity conversion.
