1982年8月,墨西哥政府宣布了一個震驚金融界的聲明:「該國無法按期履行償債義務。」此前,諸如牙買加、秘魯、波蘭和土耳其等國都曾陷入還債困難的危機,而墨西哥政府的此聲明被視作是80年代發展中國家債務問題的開端。

The potential risk of the growing involvement of US banks in Latin American and other less-developed countries (LDC) debt didn』t go unnoticed. In 1977, during a speech at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business, then-Fed Chairman Arthur Burns criticized commercial banks for assuming excessive risk in their Third World lending (FDIC 1997). Still, by 1982, the nine largest US money-center banks held Latin American debt amounting to 176 percent of their capital; their total LDC debt was nearly 290 percent of capital (Sachs 1988).
As transcripts from the July 1982 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting illustrate, committee members felt it was necessary to take action (FOMC 1982). In August, the Fed convened an emergency meeting of central bankers from around the world to provide a bridge loan to Mexico. Fed officials also encouraged US banks to participate in a program to reschedule Mexico』s loans (Aggarwal 2000).
