The debt crisis was caused indirectly by the vast increase in the world price of oil in the early 1970s. In 1973, nations belonging to OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) decided that their main export was far too cheap. By 1974, the price of oil had quadrupled. The banks and other institutions of the North subsequently were awash with "petro-dollars": enormous revenues deposited in their accounts by rich oil exporters. In order to maximize their own profits, the banks were desperate to reinvest this windfall. They began a frenzied campaign, urging poorer nations to borrow huge sums of money at low interest rates. Made confident by the assurances of the bakers, many national elites agreed to borrow: they, too, needed money, both to cushion the effects of the oil price rise and to pay for grandiose "mega-projects" like huge dams and sophisticated armaments. Commercial bank loans to the Third World increased by 5o0 per cent from 1973 to 1980. | Translation - Spanish Deuda externa y deterioro económico
La crisis the la deuda externa fue causada indirectamente por el desmesurado aumento del precio mundial del precio a principios de la década de 1970. En 1973, las naciones de la OPEP (Organización de Países Exportadores de Petróleo) decidieron que el precio de su principal producto de exportación era demasiado bajo y en 1974, el precio del petróleo crudo se había cuadruplicado. Los bancos y otras instituciones financieras del norte estaban inundados de "petrodólares" por las ingentes ganancias que los ricos exportadores depositaban en sus cuentas. De ahí que paraobtener el máximo de beneficios, a su vez, querían invertir a toda costa estos fondos imprevistos. Entonces, lanzaron una frenética campaña, exhortando a las naciones más pobres a pedir préstamos por cuantiosas sumas de dinero a bajas tasas de interés. Confiando en las garantías ofrecidas por los banqueros, muchas oligarquías nacionales aceptaron la propuesta pues también necesitaban dinero para contrarrestar los efectos del aumento de precio del petróleo y financiar "megaproyectos", tales como la construcción de enormes represas hidroeléctricas y la adquisición de armamento sofisticado. Entre 1973 y 1980 los préstamos de los bancos comerciales al Tercer Mundo aumentaron un 500 por ciento. | More Less | | sema | | Bachelor's degree - University of Cambridge | | Years of translation experience: 12.
