Bondholders who declined to participate in the domestic debt exchange program and exchange their old bonds for new ones received payments from the government.
This is the second payment made to bondholders following the government’s announcement of a payment schedule and deadline for honoring bond coupon payments.
The government started paying overdue coupons to bondholders who chose not to take part in the Domestic Debt Exchange program on March 15 as a result of intense pressure from the Coalition of Independent Bondholders.
