RFE: Resources for Economists on the Internet

Paris Club

This group of countries meets to find ways to reschedule debts owed to them by other countries. Meetings are held in Paris and are chaired by a high French Treasury official. It likes to describe itself as a "noninstitution" in that the group is informal and has no legal basis. Still, up to mid-2002, nearly $400B in debts had been rescheduled through them. Their site describes their principles, their creditors, the negotiation sessions, and other details of their work.
