The last of three programmes A Nightmare of Debt
A report by Nick Clarke with Brian Widlake and Valerie Singleton
Until this year bankers were falling over each other to lend to governments throughout the world. But 1982 has wiped some of the smiles off their faces. Poland has failed to pay a cent of the ten billion dollars it's due to repay this year. And Argen tina 's ability to service its debts is much in doubt. Can the banking system cope with these pressures? NICK CLARKE reports from the most indebted country in the world, Mexico.
