Tuesday: Bank and Bond Financing Connexion loan Cap des Biches Don Pedro Hydro Westpac Eurobonds
Cap des Biches:Choices for the BCEAO • Foreign-exchange intervention • Money-market intervention (consider interaction with monetary policy) • Fiscal policy--the demand side • Tariffs and subsidies • Exchange controls and capital controls (and jawboning)
Cap des Biches:Choices for GTI-Dakar “We must decide whether it’s worth covering our dollar exposure, given the forward premium and relative interest rates.”
Cap des Biches:Choices for GTI-Dakar “We must decide whether it’s worth covering our dollar exposure, given the forward premium and relative interest rates.” What is the probability of a devaluation? How much? What should GTI-Dakar do?
Cap des Biches:Choices for GTI-Dakar Renegotiate the $30 million loan, replacing it with a loan denominated in Euros Keep the USD loan in place, but enter into a 6-year currency swap to effectively convert GTI's payments into Euros. Hedge the dollar-Euro risk by buying dollars forward, with rolling 3-month forward contracts Hedge against a possible devaluation of the CFA franc, by selling francs in the 3-month forward market. Leave the dollar loan unhedged, and pass the cost of any foreign exchange losses on to Senelac, the buyer of GTI's power Do nothing now but watch the situation carefully and hedge if the risk becomes too great.

Credit analysis 2. Monitoring and control 3. Taking a smaller amount of more, diversified assets 4. Relying on the monitoring role of the lead bank or banks. • Better information about 1. Aggregate amount of lending to any one borrower (especially a country) 2. Terms and conditions of other segments of the loan and of other lending to the same borrower.

The Separability of Pricing from Commitment Periods • The Eurocurrency market permits the separation of the currency of denomination from the country of jurisdiction. • A seemingly simple loan has inherent a large number of different features and aspects of risk, including • pricing (over short-term LIBOR) • commitment (medium term) • funding the loan • International bankers isolate these features in order to distribute and to hedge the inherent risks

Euro-commercial Paper • ECP is an unsecured promissory note, issued and placed outside the jurisdiction of the currency of denomination. • A Eurocommercial paper facility • By definition, the facility provides only for the best-efforts auction of paper; the borrower has no underwritten assurance of availability of funds • Today, most committed facilities are used by those who want a medium term back-up line on which they do not intend to draw--often to back up a U.S. commercial paper facility. • Uncommitted Euro-commercial paper or U.S. commercial paper facilities are used for actually raising funds.
