Plan Focuses on Rescheduling of Greek Debt

Support is building among senior European finance officials for a plan to press Greece's private-sector creditors into accepting a debt exchange that would result in delayed repayment to them.

EU leaders agreed to discuss proposals on changing global financial rules at a weekend meeting with Bush, but they struggled to agree on how to ward off recession.





Can something as simple as the timing of recess make a difference in a child’s health and behavior?

rescheduling
Process of negotiating new loans to replace existing obligations, either by lengthening maturities, deferring of loan principal payments, or reducing interest rates, where the alternative is Default by the borrower and seizure of collateral by the lender. In commercial lending, rescheduling can take the form of a Troubled Debt Restructuring, in which the lender offers the borrower a concession, such as a lower rate of interest, that it would not consider ordinarily.
In loans to less developed (LDC) countries, debt rescheduling is often carried out jointly with financial aid agreements, such as multi-year Structural Adjustments supervised by the International Monetary Fund, which are intended to encourage internal economic reforms and increased private sector participation in the economy of the debtor nation. See also Buyback; Debt for Bond Swap; Debt for Equity Swap.
