Breaking!! Ethiopia edges towards default as bondholder talks falter

Post by Za-Ilmaknun » 08 Dec 2023, 19:53

(Reuters) - Ethiopia appeared to be on the brink of a debt default on Friday after talks with key holders of the African country's $1 billion international bond ended without agreement.

Ethiopia's finance ministry said that "acute external liquidity pressures" meant it had told bondholders that it would not be in a position to pay a $33 million bond interest payment due on Dec. 11, an event which would trigger a default.

"Unfortunately, in the short time available between commencement of discussions and the upcoming interest payment date, an agreement... could not be reached," the finance ministry added in a statement.

Now, go buy drones and kill your people.. :roll:

Abiy Ahimed finds money to buy arms and drones to kill the people of Ethiopia and build a new extravagant palace for himself. "Reality is stranger than fiction", they say!

It must be some pure joke. Default for not being able to pay $33 million. What happened to sugar daddy's pocket.

PP-OLF wasted all resources to buy Drones so as to kill Amhara farmers. Now, the Drones are without munitions. የአገሪቱን ሃብት ድሮን መጠጠው፤ ጦርነት እና ዝርፊያ አጠበው። ስለ ኢኮኖሚ ማውራት እራሱ ጭራሽ አርዕስት ሊሆን አይችልም።

If, after all, the official disgusting behaviors that we have been witnessing lately cannot cover all the sht, then the problem is much more serious than we have thought.

In reality the economic behavior of any given country in the modern world is the reflection of the pollical order of that given country.

In a country with Undefined system of governance, talking about economy too is undefined. If thugs were able to stop God's rain and pleasant climate, life would cease to exist. Thank God, at least 95 % of the population livelihood comes from traditional farming. PP-OLF even attempted to waste the rainy season of Amhara farmers.

Ya man, Abiye Ahmed Ali is checkmated by reality. He can’t con the economy. Printing money vs inflation, borrowing money vs interest payments, buying weapons vs debts. …
Dead-end.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia edges towards default as bondholder talks falter

Ethiopia appeared to be on the brink of a debt default after talks with key holders of Ethiopia's $1 billion international bond ended without agreement.

The combined cost of the COVID pandemic and the civil war in northern Tigray region has left Ethiopia struggling to pay its debts.

Ethiopia's finance ministry said that "acute external liquidity pressures" meant it had told bondholders that it would not be in a position to pay a $33 million bond interest payment due on December 11.

"Unfortunately, in the short time available between commencement of discussions and the upcoming interest payment date, an agreement could not be reached," the finance ministry added.

The finance ministry said Ethiopia would "broaden the engagement with the holders of its Eurobond" and hold a call next week to set out a possible proposal for the debt.

This just shows the world leaders have sensed his demise and refused to give him money to cover for his interest payment.

If he can't pay his interest how is going to pay for the weapons he is waiting to import. Nobody wants to give him loans to purchase weapons not because they want Fano to win but because they know he can NOT defeat Fano!

They would rather spend their money on finding ways to sabotage Fano! through the back door than spending money to arm Fano further! Period!
