It's Official: Greece To Pay May 15 Bond Maturity
Earlier, we reported on media speculation that this was a done deal. We now get confirmation.
And by the way, this is not Greece masking the decision. This is the international bondholder community strong-arming Greece behind the scenes, as non-payment on strong covenants bonds would be tantamount to a null and voiding of virtually the entire strong covenant sovereign bond market instantaneously.
And again: congratulation to all those who were not Steve Rattnered into agreeing to the PSI, and held out: the 135% annualized return is worth it. Just keep this in mind when the PSIs of Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy take places next.
