2. In February 1954 the Peruvian Government concluded agreements entitlingit to receive credits in the amount of $30 million for currency stabilization asfollows: In the form of currency purchases $12.5 million from the InternationalMonetary Fund and an equal amount from the U.S. Treasury, and in the form of a loan,$5 million, from the Chase Manhattan Bank. Whatever part is utilized is to berepaid within three years from the date of drawing. These loans and their eventualservice are not included in the statement of the debt and in the estimated contra-ctual payments presented in this report. As yet Peru has made no use of thisarrangement.

3. U.S. dollar debtOf the total external debt outstanding as of December 31, 1954, $100.7

million or 84% is payable in U.S. dollars. This group consists of:

(a) Publicly-issued bonds. The major part of this group is formed bydollar bonds totalling $66.3 million. These bonds are the subject of an adjustmentoffer which became effective on January 19, 1953. The offer is discussed infootnote 2 of Table A-1. As of December 31, 1954, bonds with a total nominal valueof $54.9 million were assented to the plan.

(b) Privately-placed debt. The second portion of the dollar obligationsis made up of two private loans to the government and private participations in twoIBRD loans. The first of the private loans is from the Banque de Paris et des PaysBas now outstanding in the amount of $10.3 million financing the construction of aniron and steel plant for the government-owned Santa Corporation, and the second isfrom the International Petroleum Company ($9.1 million) for the financing of roadconstruction. In addition there were private participations in IBRD loans to theGovernment ($250,000) and to the Banco de Fomento Agropecuario del Peru ($748,000).These participations have no IBRD guarantee. Privately-placed debt accounts for17% of the total external debt.

(c) IBRD loans. As of December 31, 1954, Peru contracted four loans withthe IBRD amounting to $10.5 million. One is a 15-year 4-1/2% loan of 1952 for $2.5million to finance the improvement of the Port of Callao. The other loans are: a7-year 4-1/8% loan of 1952 for ,1.3 million, a 7-year 4-1/4% loan of 1954 for $1.7million and to the Banco de Fomento Agropecuario del Peru an 8-year loan of 1954for $5 million. These loans were granted to finance the import of agriculturalequipment. 'About $482,000 of these loans was disbursed in Canadian dollars, $96,000in Swiss francs and $47,000 in Netherlands' guilders. By the end of December 1954,$5.8 million remained undisbursed.

(d) U.S. Government loans. Obligations due to the U.S. Governmenttotalling $5.4 million consist mainly of a Maritime Administration Loan ($2.5million) and a Lend-Lease Credit ($2.8 million).

4. Sterling debtThis group of debt consists of three bond issues amounting to ;62.7

million, equivalent to US$12.2 million. The Guano loan of 1922 (secured by the taxon domestic sales of guano) is outstanding in the amount of E264,000 (at the rateof $2.80 equivalent, US$738,000). This loan is being regularly serviced. The othertwo issues totalling 12.2 million (equivalent to US$10.9 million 1/) were thesubject of a settlement plan announced by the Peruvian Government on December 17,1953. In addition the settlement provided for the issuance of non-interest bearingscrip certificates for an estimated amount of l97,000 (US$552,000 equivalent).

1/ Converted to U.S. dollars by converting to new par of L174 (Republic of Peru6%) and L171 (City of Lima 5%) and then converting to U.S. dollars at L1 = $2.80.

- 3-

5. Debt in other currenciesThe remainder of Peru's external debt consists of an Argentine peso and

a privately-placed Swiss franc loan. The Argentine loan was granted in 1949 by theArgentinian Instituto de Promocion del Intercambio and it is still outstanding tothe amount of the equivalent of $6.2 million, though it was originally scheduled tobe paid off entirely in 1954. The schedule may have been changed by a new agreementbetween the two governments, but no information is available on this account. InDecember 1953, Bulher Brothers, a Swiss firm, extended a line of credit to Peru forthe financing of the construction of silos. The equivalent of $457,000 is stilloutstanding on this loan.

6. Debt contracted since December 31, 1954In addition, since December 31, 193T, new obligations have been

contracted by Peru through:

(a) Two additional loans totalling $15 million equivalent from theBanque de Paris et des Pays Bas to the Santa Corporation.

(b) Two IBRD loans: one to the Government (,18 million) for thefinancing of an irrigation project, and the other to the Compania National de CementoPortland del Norte to finance the construction of a cement plant ($2.5 million).

(c) A $1.3 million Export-Import Bank loan to the Banco Central deReserva del Peru for the purchase of hospital equipment.

(d) On May 25, 1955, the A.S. Aloe Co. of Missouri, U.S.A., granted a$3.5 million loan to Peru for the purchase of hospital equipment. No furtherinformation being available at this time, this loan was not included in the totaldebt figures given in this report.

II. Service Status of Public Issues

a) Historical

7. Apart from one of the sterling issues (the Guano Loan 1/), service onthe whole of Peru's publicly-issued external debt was suspended in 1931 and remainedin default until 1947. In that year the Peruvian Government unilaterally offered tobondholders of defaulted dollar and sterling bonds a plan for resuming service,which was rejected by the U.S. and British bondholders' representatives.

On November 14, 1951, the Peruvian Government publicly announced theterms of a readjustment plan, negotiated with the Foreign Bondholders ProtectiveCouncil Inc. of New York, which was approved by the Peruvian Congress in late 1952and was put into operation on January 19, 1953. Similarly, negotiations in 1953between the British Council of Foreign Bondholders and the Peruvian Governmentresulted in an agreement for the settlement of the Peruvian Government's two Londonbond issues.

For complete details of the settlement plans see footnotes 2, 16 and 17of Table A-1, attached to this report, and IBRD External Debt Study on Peru, EC-32,of March 29, 1954.

1/ These bonds originally paid interest at 7-1/2% and had a cumulative sinkingfund of 1-1/2/0 per annum. In 1938, interest was reduced to 4% and the Governmentagreed to pay &52,170 per annum to cover interest and sinking fund.

-14-

8. Annual service paymentsThe following table shows yearly service charges on the external direct

and guaranteed public debt of Peru in each of the years 1955 through 1979. A largetotal of US$18.2 million for 1955, is caused by an estimated payment of $6.2 millionon the Argentine peso loan and by the assumption that full assents to settlementplans for dollar and sterling bonds will require cash payments during 1955 totalling$1.9 million on account of interest arrears. In 1956 service charges reach a morenormal level of US$10.5 million consisting of $5.1 million for interest and $5.4million for amortization. Payments average $13 million through 1960 and subsequentlydecline from $11.4 million to $4.6 million during the next ten years through 1970.Service payments remain at a level of $4.5 million from 1971 to 1977 and dropsharply to about $1.8 million in 1978 and 1979. The estimated payments for thedollar and sterling bonds under the 1953 settlement plans, included in the above-mentioned figures, are based on the assumption that the dollar bonds will be boughtin the open market at an average price of 50 through 1964 and at 75 thereafter, andthe sterling bonds will be purchased at an average price of 50. For additionaldetails see Table A-2.

III. Pledges of Revenues and Assets

9. All of the public external bonds now outstanding were secured by pledgesof Goverment revenues or assets. The Bank has no complete details of the provisionsof all the original contracts with regard to these pledges.

The Debt Adjustment Plan offered on January 19, 1953, contained thefollowing reinstatement clause: '. . . in case default shall be made in the paymentof principal, interest or sinking fund on the New Bonds, each such New Bond shallthereafter be entitled to the payment of service, to the enjoyment of security, andto the benefit of all of the other provisions of the original bond contractsrelating to the bond or bonds in exchange for which the New Bond has been issuedexcept that the Republic shall be principal obligor on the City of Lima thirty-year6-1/2% Second Sinking Fund Gold Bonds".

The loan from the International Petroleum Co. is secured by a preferredpledge of the revenues derived from state taxes on the consumption of petroleum andits derivatives. The 1951 loan from the Banque de Paris et des Pays Bas is securedby the revenues from export, import and other taxes which the Corporation Peruana delSanta receives in accordance with Law No.10,090.

b. A loan of $3,500,000 to Peru from A.S. Aloe Co., granted May 25, 1955. This loan is to be repaid in 5 years.Information about the interest rate and repayment terms is not readily available at this time.

L2. The dollar bonds of Peru were fully serviced until 1931 when the Republic susnended service on external debt. Underoffers in 1937 and 1938 partial payments were made on certain 1931 and 1932 coupons, but no payments were made there-after until the debt adjustment plan of 1947 went into operation. Under an exchange offer of June 26, 1947, SeriesA-D bonds were issued in exchange at par for Republic of Peru 7 , 1927-1959, Peruvian National Loan 1st Series 6%,1927-1960, the U.S. dollar tranche of the Peruvian National Loan 2nd Series 65, 1928-1961, and Province of Callao7 1/2, 1927-1944 dollar bonds. The offer provided that interest arrears up to December 31, 1946 were to be cancelled,and that interest would be paid on the new bonds at 1% for 1947-1948, at 1 1/2;; for 1949-1950, at 2% for 1951-1952,and at 2 1/2b thereafter. A cumulative sinking fund was provided.

Under an offer of December 31, 1947, Series E dollar bonds were issued in exchange for the sterling tranche of thePeruvian National Loan 2nd Series 6%, 1928-1961 and the City of Lima 5T, 1911-1965. Prior to December 31. 1949 ex-change was made at $4.00 principal amount of Series E bonds for £1 of old bonds (plus a cash adjustment of $0.03per £l). Since that date, the offer was extended at the rate of $2.80 of Series E bonds for £1 of old bonds,Interest rate provisions on Series E bonds were the same as for Series A-D bonds. A cumulative sinking fund wasprovided.

Neither of these offers was recommended by the respective bondholders' councils. As a result on January 19, 1953the Republic offered new bonds with an interest rate of 3% p.a. from January 1, 1953 in exchange for all its out-standing dollar bonds (except Series E bonds) on a par for par basis. This offer was extended to holders of SeriesE bonds on July 26, 1954. A cumulative semi-annual sinking fund of at least $402,708.50 plus interest at 35 p.a.on new bonds retired through the sinking fund and on bonds issued under the 1947 offer which were retired afterJuly 1, 1952 is provided. Depositors of bonds will also receive non-interest bearing scrip certificates in thefollowing amounts per $1,000 bond:

Peru 7s/1959 and 2 1/2s/1997 Series A $ 103.83Peru 6s/19 60 and 2 1/2s/1997 Series B 90.50Peru 7s/1961 and 2 1/2s/1997 Series C 91.50Callao 7 1/2s/1944 and Peru 2 1/2s/1997 Series D 113.00Lima 6 1/2s/1958 135.42Peru 2 1/2s/1997 Series E 96.00

The scrip certificates are redeemable in 15 equal annual instalments from 1953 through 1967. In addition, holdersof the four issues which were exchangeable into Series A-D bonds under the 1947 plan will receive a cash payment of$90, and holders of Series E bonds will receive $7.50 per $1,000 bond.

,' These bonds were serviced regularly until 1931 when Peru suspended payments on external debt. In 1947 the holdersof these bonds were offered Series E dollar bonds (see footnote 2). This offer was not approved by the Council ofForeign Bondholders because it did not recognize the dollar clauses (Peruvian National Loan payable in noundssterling or U.S. dollars at l = $4.8665, City of Lima Loan payable at 21 = $4.80.

Therefore, on December 17, 1953 Peru announced the following settlement which was later accepted by the bondholders:a. The contractual dollar option will be honored in respect of principal, future interest and sinking fund

instalments by payments in sterling at E1.74 for each -1 nominal amount for the National Loan and £1.71 for£1 of the City of Lima Loan.

b. Interest will be paid at 3% p.a. on the new par value beginning April 1, 1954.c. A semi-annual cumulative sinking fund of 1/2? p.a. of the new par value of all bonds outstanding at the

time of the offer, to be an-olied to purchase of bonds in the market or redemption at the new -oar, will beprovided.

d. Maturity will be extended to 2007 on the National Loan and to 2008 on the City of Lima Loan.e. Interest arrears up to December 31, 1946 will be calculated on the original face value and funded at 10)

into non-interest bearing scrip certificates which will be retired in 15 equal annual instalments from

1954 through 1968.f. Arrears of interest from January 1, 1947 to October 1, 1953 will be satisfied by a sterling cash payment

on April 1, 1954, or as soon as possible thereafter, of Z11-5-0 per £100 original face value for theNational Loan and E10-10-0 per £100 original face value for the City of Lima Loan.
