Argentina defaulted on some commercial loan and was not able to get a loan from any organization for a decade. Post-Isaias Eritrean government will eventually settle the debt paying 3 times of the original loan. There's a summary of the case on the following link Republic of Argentina v. NML Capital, Ltd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_ ... 0of%20debt.



After 15 Years, Argentina Agrees To Pay Back U.S. Creditors
Argentina ends 15 years in the financial wilderness after agreeing to pay its debts.


Argentina’s debt crisis is finally over.

On Thursday, the Argentine Senate voted 54-16 to issue $12.5 billion in bonds. Part of the money raised will be used to pay back $4.65 billion to U.S. hedge funds, most notably Paul Singer’s NML Capital, an offshore subsidiary of Elliott Management. Argentina has refused to pay back its debt since 2001, when it defaulted on loans that represented 150 percent of GDP as its economy collapsed. It again defaulted in 2014 after failing to reach a deal with creditors.

The legislation is a victory for conservative President Mauricio Macri, who was elected last November and had made a debt deal a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. The agreement means he can now tap global credit markets for the first time in 15 years, something his cash-strapped nation desperately needs. Former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had refused to pay her country’s debt, calling creditors “vulture funds” who invested in their economy when it was at its weakest.

It’s also a victory for Singer. According to a Bloomberg estimate, Elliott Management will get back $2.28 billion, or about 369 percent of the firm’s $617 million investment in distressed bonds; Singer paid just $117 million for them. The hedge fund did not respond to a request for comment.

The debt deal will level the playing field for Argentina when it comes to the cost of borrowing. It needs money to improve infrastructure, close government spending gaps, and win the confidence of investors. In the past, it had to pay 9 percent interest on loans, nearly double the rates peers like Bolivia and Uruguay were offered.

“This agreement will be great news for economic activity in the country during the next several years,” Eugenio J. Alemán, senior economist at Wells Fargo, said in a recent research note. “Access to the international capital markets means that the administration will reduce or eliminate the need to finance its fiscal deficit by printing money, which has continued to stoke inflation and inflationary expectations.”

After its default — the largest sovereign debt default ever — Argentina’s economy went into the worst recession in the country’s history, leading to unemployment of more than 20 percent, a GDP drop of 11 percent, and riots on Argentine streets that left 27 dead and more than 150 injured. Argentina’s president at the time, Fernando De la Rua, declared a “state of siege.” He was forced to resign, and escaped Casa Rosada, Argentina’s executive residence, in a helicopter as his country’s economy collapsed.

The deal is backed by the White House. At the end of President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Argentina, the Justice Department, in a brief filed March 23 with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, said the United States has “significant foreign policy interests” to find a “rapid” resolution to the long-simmering debt dispute.

The standoff between Argentina and U.S. hedge funds often turned ugly. In 2012, Singer, who had long resisted giving Buenos Aires any relief on its debt, seized an Argentine naval vessel as a form of repayment. When Argentina won the World Cup semifinals in 2014, fans, celebrating on the streets of Rosario, Argentina’s third-biggest city , chanted, “Vulture funds, stop messing around and agree to the swap.”

Why A Hedge Fund Seized An Argentine Navy Ship In Ghana

October 22, 2012


he Libertad, a ship owned by the Argentine Navy, set sail across the Atlantic a few months ago. It was being tracked, via the Internet, by a U.S.-based hedge fund called NML Capital.

The Libertad is a tall-masted sailing ship used for training sailors. NML Capital owns over $1 billion of Argentine debt that the country has refused to repay.

The Libertad was supposed make a stop in Nigeria. But, because of worries over piracy, the ship docked instead in Ghana. That's when NML Capital filed suit in court in Ghana, asking for an injunction to seize the ship as partial repayment for the debt.

A judge granted the injunction a few weeks ago and ordered that the ship be prevented from refueling until Argentina posts $20 million with the court, which would be used to repay NML Capital.

This, not surprisingly, has been a huge deal in Argentina, which has refused to pay. The chief of the Argentine navy resigned because of the scandal. This weekend, the country evacuated most of the ship's crew, but the captain and a skeleton crew are still aboard.

Article continues after sponsor message

The fight over the ship goes back to 2001, when Argentina defaulted on roughly $100 billion in national debt — the biggest sovereign default of all time. The move was arguably good for the country's economy. But, clearly, it also created some long-term trouble.

Between 2005 and 2010, Argentina cut deals to discharge 93 percent of its unpaid debt. Bondholders took huge losses, accepting 30 cents on the dollar. But the people who hold the other 7 percent of the debt are still fighting to get the money they're owed.

This means that any assets Argentina holds overseas — including, apparently, a tall-masted navy ship docked in Ghana — are vulnerable to being impounded by the repo man.

Told you you many times here, the Arab comes to your house only to sell his trinkets, keep your women as concubines, denigrate your own identity, burn your own Tigre Tigrinya languages, to Arabize your land and at the end enslave you in debt and own you as his slave, own your land and waters.
The Arab slave and the riffraff of Jebha and their Jihadi branches know all these but they do not care because that is what their Arab masters demand them and the Abeed always complies. Told you before to stay away from the Arabs and mind your business. Every little nation that came to the Arabs ends up burned; learn from Somalia, Taliban Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Mali ...
If you are starving like Somalia, Yemen and Sudan ... the rich Arab will not send you food or build you schools but send you more koranic books, bombs and bullets. This is what they were doing with the Arab slaves in Jebha, the starving Somalia and Yemen.
The Qatari Arabs were quite happy with Eritrea on their way to ensnare it slowly, until the Gulf Arab schism erupted and Eritrea sided with the Saudi-UAE block. Soon after the Qataris were angry -- "how dare the slaves move against us! ... we will show them who owns them!".
The following year GoE would make its first payment in principle in December 2011 of $19.8 million, followed by another payment of $19.8 million in May 2012. However the May 2012 payment would be the last payment the QNB would receive. In July of 2017, QNB would issue a written demand to GoE. The first letter went unanswered and so they followed up with another letter a few weeks later and Eritrea responded back to both in writing acknowledging their unpaid debts and requesting QNB delay taking further action.

Isayas didn't need help from Abiy or any other nation to decimate the agames once for all.
And the miseries you agames are in as we speak started only because you massacred ethio troops and stole their armaments which gave PIA the opportune time (we told you we will evict you from our own territories on our time, with out a drop of an Eritrean blood) and fasten your demise.
Your denise was written a long time ago.
So, not that I believe Eritrea and Ethiopia peace will go south, but Eritrea or PIA never relied on any one to do what it wants to do if double crossed.
Agames you are [deleted]*ting in your pants and are trying to catch a pie from the sky hopping the USA to save your qondaf meakorat and relying and praying Eritrea's and Ethiopia's peace breaks. Dumb as*ses you were in power for 27 years and you just were abusing the ethios and kneeling down to your masters. And what can Ethiopia who ever is going to lead it can do when there is no animosity between the two countries?
You are and you will always be our number one enemies, untill we break your spines and stop your shenanigans and behave for your sake.
Any future Ethiopian leader or Abiy knows that befriending Eritrea is for their benefit.
We proved it by destroying three consecutive evil Ethiopian regimes. And we are getting more super power of the region as time goes on.
As far as loans go, Ethiopia is in debt to its neck because of woyane officials getting loans to enrich themselves.
The worst thing is that tigray is dirty poor and even if Ethiopia wants to sell it to Dijobutti or South Sudan or to Haiti won't be able to pay its debt.
What Ethiopia should do is use the tegarus as slaves for 300 years just like America did to the blacks to do its menial jobs inside all Ethiopian households.
May be that way Ethiopia can save the money it would spend to pay wages to its none agame population and pay atleast half of its debt woyane and the filthy agames afflicted to Ethiopia .
