Argentina strikes deal with major creditors to restructure $65 billion in debt

Argentina reached a deal with its major creditors to restructure roughly $65 billion in sovereign debt, a hopeful sign for a country that now faces a brutal Covid-19 related recession on top of longstanding economic problems.

The official statement of the Argentinean Economy Ministry read: "Argentina will adjust some of the payment dates contemplated for the new bonds established in its July 6 Invitation, without increasing the total amount of principal payments or interest payments that Argentina undertakes to make and at the same time improving the value of the proposal for the creditor community ".
