Sumario: | This article pretends to establish the relationship between certain internal economic policies and the price of the external debt in the international secondary market. Specifically, this study searches the linking between oil prices, the changes in legal norms and the prices of Global 12 Bonds in the Ecuadorian case. With the application of econometric techniques, the authors reach the conclusion that the creation of the “Fondo de Estabilización, Inversión Social y Productiva y Reducción del Endeudamiento Público-FEIREP” (Stabilization, Social and Productive Investment, and Public Debt Reduction Fund) on July 2002 was the main reason for the raise in the price of Global 12 Bonds, which evidently favored debt paper holders.
