debt swap  

Definition

  • A DEBT SWAP IS an arrangement that involves the conversion of overly burdensome debt obligations into new obligations. Developing countries have welcomed debt swaps as a chance to renegotiate and ease their debt burden while the creditors accepted debt swaps as an increased likelihood that they would be repaid.
