Summary: | This paper highlights some issues surrounding the sustainability of the external borrowing strategies of the Baltics, Russia and other CIS countries (B-CIS) with the aim of drawing lessons for debt management by these countries and, in particular, for future borrowing on the international capital markets. Section II reviews the amounts and sources of external financing for the fifteen B-CIS countries during 1993-96, while Section III discusses the characteristics of their external debt position at the end of 1996-five years after the break-up of the Soviet Union and roughly two years after the beginning of serious stabilization efforts in most of these countries. Section IV presents some factors that should be taken into account in evaluating the external borrowing strategies of the B-CIS countries, particularly the fiscal aspects. Section V examines some possible policy conclusions from the analysis.
