REESTIMATING THE BRAZILIAN PUBLIC DEBT/GDP RATIO: “FISCAL SKELETONS” AND “NEW RICARDIAN” BEHAVIOR, Prepared for the Conference on “Latin America Economies: History and Globalization”, 24th and 25th of April 2009, UCLA

"in 1943 the Brazilian government worked out an extensive renegotiation of the external public debt issued by the
Central Government, States and Municipalities in pound sterling and in dollars during 1883-1931 in the first case, and during 1901-1931 in the second case.
This renegotiation was made with two organizations of bondholders of Brazilian external public debt, “The Council of the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders” in London and “Foreign Bondholders Protective Council, Inc.”, in New York. The final agreement gave birth to Decree-Law (DL) 6019/43 in November 25, 1943, that authorized and determined new rules for the retaking of the Brazilian external payments, which by then had been interrupted.
According to the new rules, from January 1, 1944, the payment of interest and of the amortization of the external debt bonds should be realized in accordance with two forms: Plan A and Plan B. The Decree-Law states that “Plan A keeps the nominal and original value of the bond, fixing new and definitive interest rates and amortization quotas".
