Collective Action Clauses (CACS): An Analysis of Provisions Included in Recent Sovereign Bond Issues
The Bank has today published a paper (by John Drage and Catherine Hovaguimian) that assesses the extent to which recent contractual innovations in foreign currency sovereign bonds issued under New York law may contribute to the creation of a more orderly framework for restructuring sovereign debt.
