The use of official funds in debt reduction packages has been widely argued to amount to a creditor bailout. The authors analyze this question using a case study of Mexico's 1989 Brady deal. Using an option-based pricing model, they obtain pre- and postmarket values for Mexico's commercial debt and find that the market value inclusive of official funds went up only marginally. Consequently, Mexico obtained a large share of the benefits of the official funds and struck a favorable deal. The Brady debt reduction formula, thus, seems to offer an efficient framework for debt workouts. Recent events in Mexico confirm that view.
