“In recent days we have worked on the conditions of an offer that gained huge acceptance by our creditors as a result of the dialogue process in past months,” economy minister Martin Guzman told a news conference. The government said the deal and a separate restructuring of local law dollar debt would together bring financial relief of $37.7bn over the 2020/2030 period, and help cut average interest payments on foreign law bonds to 3% from 7%.
The 1% of bonds that did not meet collective action clause thresholds of support for a restructuring highlighted pockets of holdouts on individual bonds, though Guzman told reporters it was not a major issue and would be resolved. The strong support and few holdouts stands in contrast to Argentina's 2005 debt restructuring, which saw creditors holding about a quarter of bonds reject a deal, leading to over a decade of legal battles.
