Argentina readies debt proposal, no 'understanding' yet with creditors: economy minister

Economy Minister Martin Guzman laid out the framework of the country’s proposal, which would see it restructure close to $70 billion in foreign debts as it grapples with a biting recession that is being sharpened by the coronavirus pandemic.

There would be a smaller capital cut of around $3.6 billion, or 5.4% of the total debt stock, Guzman said. “It sounds better than what markets were pricing in. Bondholders were afraid of something radical, like no coupon payments or high capital haircuts,” he said. Argentina’s proposal, which was initially expected to be made by mid-March, has been delayed by the global coronavirus pandemic, which has buffeted the country’s already fragile economy and led to a nationwide lockdown.
