| Abstract: | For many years, debt relief has been a prominent theme in public debate. Supporters of debt relief argue that debt service drains the resources of needy countries – resources which could be employed in such important areas as infrastructure, education and medical treatment. The question, however, whether foreign debt does, indeed, lead to a draining of resources is hardly ever addressed. |
