PSD Blog - The World Bank Group - Private Sector Development: "Governments turn down private debt

More than ever, governments in developing countries have access to capital markets, but most are not using it. Instead, they have restructured their debt portfolios, cutting the share of private sector debt and increasing the share of longer-term multilateral debt... The evidence suggests that most governments are sensibly taking advantage of their menu of financing options.

This is from chapter three of The Market for Aid, and also available in this short note on The Demand for Loans.

Also see Benn Eifert and Alan Gelb on how countries are coping with aid volatility."
