In this paper the authors examine the financial crisis experienced by the East Asian countries in the 1990s and also the sovereign debt crisis faced by Argentina in early 2000s and how the respective governments responded. On a more global scale - leading International Organisations responded to these crises by developing best practices for debt restructuring which were widely adopted by many countries and these are highlighted in this paper. Several years later the world saw another financial crisis in 2008 and the paper covers the struggles in Europe among over-leveraged sovereign debtors and the cases of Ireland, Greece, Spain and Iceland are discussed. In the concluding part, the authors look at the short and long term policy ramifications including lessons from solutions previously deployed in stressed emerging markets. INSOL would like to sincerely thank Tim DeSieno and Katherine Dobson for taking the time to write this excellent paper.

  • Lessons Learned from the Lehman Bankruptcy Kimberly Anne Summe
    5 Lessons Learned from the Lehman Bankruptcy Kimberly Anne Summe The carnage is everywhere. Storied corporate histories have been dashed in the wreckage of the worst economic dislocation since the Great Depression. Many of the most globally recognized businesses have disappeared. Chrysler, a company previously resuscitated by the charis- matic Lee Iacocca, has failed. General Motors, a 101-year- old company, now has the dubious distinction of being the largest industrial bankruptcy filing to date and is 60 percent owned by U.S. taxpayers. Waterford Wedgwood, a 250-year- old company known for its fine china and crystal, was placed I wish to thank my husband, Philip, and our children for their patience, and Locke McMurray, Thomas Russo, Rebecca Simmons, and Scott Willoughby for their efforts to improve the quality of this chapter.

Countless other companies around the world, both large and small, suffered from the destructive forces of trillions of dollars in lost home values, stock market losses, and vanishing jobs. The financial sector, which most blame for this crisis, suffered as well. The first notable casualty was Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., a firm founded in 1923 that survived the stock market crash of 1929 without firing one employee. Bear Stearns, which once traded as high as $171 per share, was sold in March 2008 to JPMorgan Chase for $10 per share.

B. Hall Professor of Banking and Financial Regulation, Department of Economics, Loughborough University January 2009 Earlier versions of this paper appeared in the Journal of Financial Regulation and Compliance (Vol.16, No.1, pp.19-34), March 2008, and as Working Paper No. WP2008-9 in the Discussion Paper series of the Department of Economics of Loughborough University (September 2008) ABSTRACT On 14 September 2007, after failing to find a 'White Knight' to take over its business, Northern Rock bank turned to the Bank of England ('the Bank') for a liquidity lifeline. This was duly provided but failed to quell the financial panic, which manifested itself in the first fully-blown nationwide deposit run on a UK bank for 140 years. Subsequent provision of a blanket deposit guarantee duly led to the (eventual) disappearance of the depositor queues from outside the bank's branches but only served to heighten the sense of panic in policymaking circles. Following the Government's failed attempt to find an appropriate private sector buyer, the bank was then nationalised in February 2008. Inevitably, post mortems ensued, the most transparent of which was that conducted by the all-party House of Commons' Treasury Select Committee.
