Description
Contracting for Disaster(s) Borrowers must pay. Period. Even a natural disaster probably won't excuse non-payment. And while loan contracts can provide a wider range of excuses, they almost never do. Contract innovation is rare in sovereign debt markets. Except, sometimes, it happens. Jim Ho is part of the team that designed the Natural Disaster Clause for Barbados. We talk with Jim about this innovation, its origins in Grenada's hurricane clause, and about whether the clause could be expanded to cover pandemics and other disasters. Producer: Leanna Doty
