Abstract: 
A sovereign debtor facing a credit limit due to unenforceable debt contracts may have an incentive to increase its creditworthiness by making itself subject to more severe sanctions in response to a debt repudiation. It is shown that for a natural resources exporting country this incentive may result in a more resource conserving extraction policy at the expense, of current income. A resource exporting LDC thus may face a conflict between creditworthiness and liquidity which would not have to be faced were the source of income not exhaust ible.
