![](../../icons/ecblank.gif) | Journal of Credit Risk | www.journalofcreditrisk.com/ The Journal of Credit Risk is an international refereed journal focusing on the measurement and management of credit risk, the valuation and hedging of credit products, and the promotion of greater understanding in the area of credit risk theory and practice.
Credit risk research in both industry and academia is extensive. The majority of this research is not accessible to a wider audience due to the highly technical nature of the research papers. The Journal of Credit Risk, therefore, has three fundamental aims:
(1) to foster high quality, original and innovative work;
(2) to provide practitioners and academics with access to the resulting technical research; and
(3) to serve as an educational forum on timely issues concerning credit risk in general. | ![](../../icons/ecblank.gif) |

![](../../icons/ecblank.gif) | World Bank - Banca mondiale | www.worldbank.org/guarantees/ The World Bank's Guarantee instrument was formally mainstreamed in 1994 to address the growing need to offer political risk mitigation products to commercial lenders contemplating financial investment in the infrastructure sectors of developing countries. The Bank's fundamental objective in offering guarantees is to mobilize private capital for such projects on a "lender of last resort" basis.
At present, the Bank offers three basic types of guarantees. Partial credit guarantees cover debt service defaults on a specified portion of a loan or a bond. Such guarantees allow public sector projects to extend maturities and lower spreads. Partial risk guarantees cover debt service defaults on a loan to a private sector project caused by a government's failure to meet its contractual obligations related to a private project. Policy based guarantees cover a portion of debt service on a borrowing by an eligible member country from private foreign creditors in support of agreed structural, institutional, and social policies and reforms. | ![](../../icons/ecblank.gif) |
