Passage Three Banks with large international credits limit their concentrations of loans in any one country according to the perceived "country risk". Country risk generally refers to economic and political conditions existing in a country. In any case, a loan to the foreign nation’s government or its agencies is generally safer than a loan to a private-sector borrower. Even loans to governments may be unsafe, however, because of what is called "sovereign risk". When foreign governments experience economic or political pressures, there is a risk that they will divert resources to the correction of their domestic problems at the expense of servicing their debts to external lenders. In the 1980s, several less-developed nations requested the rescheduling of bank loans at considerable sacrifice in interest income to the banks involved. At the extreme, governments might simply repudiate their debts; that is, they might no longer recognize their obligations to external creditors. If we make loans to governments, we may suffer "sovereign risk".

A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn’t say
