Abstract

El elevado endeudamiento externo contraído por los países emergentes latinoamericanos como herramienta complementaria del ahorro interno, desencadenó la crisis de la deuda en los anos 80´s. Colombia, a diferencia de sus países vecinos, impulsado por las bonanzas cafeteras y por niveles de gasto inferiores, logró sobreponerse y superar parcialmente la crisis internacional, evitando reestructurar la deuda bajo las condiciones impuestas por entes multilaterales. El gobierno nacional debió entablar relaciones particulares con la banca privada, en busca de créditos sindicados que le garantizaran la liquidez necesaria para continuar efectuando los pagos de la deuda y no declarar una posible moratoria. Colombia, firmó un total de 4 créditos sindicados, permitiendo estos la refinanciación requerida. El país sobresalió como un caso de excepción. ***** The high external debt contracted by the emergent Latin-American countries, as complementary tool of the internal saving, triggered the Crisis of the debt in the Eighties.Colombia, unlike his neighbouring countries, stimulated by the coffee prosperity and by low levels of expense, managed to superimpose and to excel partially the international crisis, avoiding restructuring the debt under the conditions imposed by multilateral entities. Colombian government, begun particular relations with the private banking, in search of unionized credits, which were guaranteeing the necessary liquidity to continue effecting the payments of the debt and to not declare a possible moratorium. Colombia, signed a total of 4 unionized credits, allowing the needed refunding. The country stood out as an exceptional case.
