US$1.6 billion Resurgent India Bonds (RIBs) (1998): US$4.2 billion India Millennium Deposits (IMDs) (2000): US$5.5 billion

Original Sin?
India
Low Share of External Liabilities in Sovereign Borrowing Sovereign Borrowings only from Multilateral/Bilateral Sources States not permitted to raise external debt directly Foreign investment allowed in locaL currency bonds but within an overall ceiling pros and cons of sovereign foreign currency borrowing Rationale for calibrating foreign investment in domestic currency bonds
