Ethiopia's Bond Default Looms as "Loss Reinstatement" Provision Floated

Ethiopia's government is seeking to negotiate a rework of its $1 billion Eurobond and has proposed a "loss reinstatement" provision for bondholders in case of future defaults.

The proposal includes addressing the concerns of bondholders who sought such a provision, but it may not meet their exact expectations.

The government emphasized the need for debt relief to satisfy official creditors, including China, and avoid issues with other creditors. Ethiopia had requested debt relief under the G20's Common Framework and agreed to a debt service suspension with official creditors.
