Argentina failed to reach a deal with hedge funds demanding full payment on its defaulted bonds,veering closer to what the IMF warned could be a painful new default.
阿根廷未能與要求全額支付國債本息的美國對(duì)沖基金達(dá)成和解協(xié)議,局勢向著國際貨幣基金組織警告的方向——一場慘痛的新違約——繼續(xù)發(fā)展,。(法新)
2001年底,,阿根廷發(fā)生嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)和政治動(dòng)蕩,當(dāng)時(shí)政府宣布停止償還總計(jì)約1020億美元的到期外債,。此后,阿根廷政府于2005年和2010年兩次推出違約債務(wù)重組方案,把原債券按25%到35%的比率轉(zhuǎn)換為新債券,,約有92%的債權(quán)人接受了重組方案。但以美國NML資本公司為代表的一些對(duì)沖基金拒絕接受并提出上訴,。2012年11月,,美國地方法庭法官葛雷薩裁定,阿政府必須向這些對(duì)沖基金全額償還13.3億美元債務(wù),。6月中旬,,美國最高法院再次做出裁決,不予受理阿根廷提出的重審此案的訴訟請(qǐng)求,。
Earlier this week,,U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa ordered Argentina and holdout creditors who have rejected its debt restructurings to meet continuously with Pollack to try to reach a deal and avoid the country‘s second default in 12 years.
本周早些時(shí)候,美國地方法庭法官托馬斯·葛雷薩要求阿根廷談判小組,、拒絕接受債務(wù)重組方案的債權(quán)方與波拉克(法庭指定的協(xié)調(diào)人)進(jìn)行協(xié)商,,爭取達(dá)成一項(xiàng)可以讓阿根廷避免在12年內(nèi)再次出現(xiàn)債務(wù)違約的和解協(xié)議。(路透)
“No resolution of the impasse between the parties has been reached. Consistent with Judge Griesa’s direction of earlier this week in open Court,,I anticipate that there will be further communications with the parties prior to the Default date (July 30),,”Pollack said.
“雙方還未能給這個(gè)僵局找到一條出路,根據(jù)葛雷薩法官本周早些時(shí)候在公開法庭上作出的指令,,我期待各方在債務(wù)違約截止日期(7月30日)到來之前進(jìn)行更深入的溝通,。”波拉克說,。(路透)
實(shí)際上,,選擇庭外和解是目前最可行的辦法。一來,,阿根廷可以通過談判爭取美國法院重新啟動(dòng)“判決延期執(zhí)行”,,避免因資金被凍結(jié)而陷入技術(shù)性債務(wù)違約;二來,,可以拖延時(shí)間,,直至12月底,屆時(shí)適用所有債權(quán)人的“未來權(quán)益聲索條款”將失效,,阿根廷總體債務(wù)規(guī)模將不至于高達(dá)千億美元之巨,。
“Argentina is being attacked by speculative interests in a totally undeserved way,”Fernandez said in a speech Friday night. “The ones involved in this suit never loaned a single cent to the Republic of Argentina but instead bought defaulted bonds in 2008-in other words they bought worthless bonds on the cheap,,” she said.
“阿根廷遭受著投機(jī)勢力不可理喻的攻擊”,,阿根廷總統(tǒng)費(fèi)爾南德斯發(fā)表演講時(shí)說,,“涉及本案的那些人沒有給過阿根廷共和國一分錢的貸款,只是在2008年購買了已經(jīng)違約的債券,,換句話說,,實(shí)際上他們只是廉價(jià)地拿到了一些毫無價(jià)值的債券”。(美聯(lián))
目前阿根廷外債大約有150億美元,,外匯儲(chǔ)備大約有290億美元,,但實(shí)際可以動(dòng)用的資金不到160億美元。
