沉重的外债负担是阻碍拉美国家经济发展、社会进步和人民生活改善的主要原因之一。为解决债务问题,拉美国家在80年代都相继进行了程度不同的经济调整,但它们所作的努力除使个别国家的债务有所缓和外,多数国家至今仍没有摆脱债务负荷的困扰。以巴西为例,自80年代初债务危机以来,各届政府虽然进行了付出巨大牺牲的经济调整,但8年后的今天,巴西的债务问题不仅没有相应的缓和,反而有加剧的趋势。巴西政府所追求的缓解债务和稳定经济发展两个基本目标均未能实现。外债总额由1982年的750亿美元上升到1990年的1210亿美元,增长61.3％;偿债能力下降导致1987年2月和1989年7月
The heavy burden of foreign debt is one of the main reasons that impede the economic development, social progress and improvement of people’s lives in Latin American countries. In order to solve the debt problem, Latin American countries successively conducted different degrees of economic readjustments in the 1980s. However, most of their efforts have not been relieved of their debt burden yet, except for easing the debts of some countries. Take Brazil as an example. Since the debt crisis of the early 1980s, although the governments of various countries have carried out economic adjustments that sacrificed greatly, the problem of debt in Brazil not only has not been eased correspondingly but intensified on the contrary after eight years. The two basic goals pursued by the Brazilian government to ease debt and stabilize economic development have not been realized. The total foreign debt rose from 75 billion U.S. dollars in 1982 to 121 billion U.S. dollars in 1990, an increase of 61.3%; a drop in solvency led to a decline in February 1987 and July 1989
