Argentina puts up $ 6.5 billion to close the legal battle with hedge funds Americans. Two hedge funds of six have already accepted the offer defined by the mediator chosen by the Manhattan court, David Pollack, a “historic turning point”, and now must be approved by the Argentine Congress. If accepted by all, the deal would represent a “discount” (or haircut ) by about 25% on the 9.9 billion requested by the funds. The news comes only days the agreement reached with the more than 15,000 Italian creditors, represented by the Task Force Argentina, which said yes to a refund of 150% of the nominal capital of the bonds (about 900 million) in their possession. In other words: 1.35 billion on 2.5 billion requested.
With the funds, led by Nml Capital, controlled by billionaire Paul Singer Use by Elliott Management, negotiation continues. For 14 years. Having brought Buenos Aires to the Supreme Court in the US in the summer of 2014 forced the South American country to a second default (technical), after the 100-billion bankruptcy, which in 2001 involved 450,000 Italian savers. Hedge funds, who bought the bonds for a pittance of those, about 7% of the holders, have not adhered to restructuring arrangements proposed by Buenos Aires, they have remained out of the trade with new discounted titles in 2005 and 2010. It They are suing. Hence the name of funds “vultures”, coined by former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Now it becomes a starting point for reviving Argentina, which will come back, to borrow on the international markets.
