Re: Outra vez, Argentina?

Aqui explica a situação:
Argentina is about to choose a sovereign default that could wipe out its foreign reserves
Argentina is about to choose a sovereign default that could wipe out its foreign reserves
If you’ve been following the debt saga of Latin America’s third-largest economy, you know things are a mess: A decade of restructuring following Argentina’s record default in 2001 helped the country reduce its borrowings through two debt exchanges, but a small minority of creditors held out and demanded full repayment. The sovereign bonds in question were issued under New York law. After years of litigation, subsidiaries of Elliott Management won not just a $1.6 billion settlement, but a judge’s injunction that would block Argentina from paying anyone unless it paid the holdouts, too.
Now, Argentina is out of appeals. The deadline to pay creditors was July 1, and while the country put a $539 million interest payment for the exchange bondholders in escrow, it didn’t actually pay them or the holdouts. On July 30, a 30-day grace period ends. If Argentina can’t reach a deal that satisfies the holdouts and persuades them to ask for the injunction to be lifted, it’s default city.
