Abstract:
The article analyzes the problem of creating a hierarchy of sovereign borrowers by central bankers. The results show that the Basel Committee decided to create the club in response to European Community (EU) policies that threatened a number of non-EU countries. Also BCBS decided to define the group through OECD membership because its members embodied a key set of criteria that it associated with creditworthiness.
