ssradja Interesting. How about covenants?
jmcarr02 How could a country provide collateral... lol! I imagine a banker asking for bunch of road or an administrative building.
CheeHong I would imagine those are good collaterals.

TheHTrader What does Character stand for?
Sailor85 Character is a measure of the borrower's past payment history. In consumer lending, it is normally evaluated by pulling a credit report.
