Grenada struggles with piecemeal approach to debt reduction

April 22, 2015 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Grenada has reached a deal with private bondholders to reduce debt owed to them by up-to half over the next two years, dependent on the country completing a programme with the International Monetary Fund. Along with an agreement to cut in half the country’s debt to Taiwan, Grenada’s foreign debt will fall from around $670 million to $520 million, as much of it is actually owed to public institutions such as the Caribbean Development Bank. Furthermore, the deal with the bondholders will mean Grenada’s debt payments will increase, as it has been in default to the private sector since 2013. 

A substantial amount of Grenada’s debt is owed to multilateral institutions such as the Caribbean Development Bank, World Bank and International Monetary Fund. There is also debt owed to the UK ($3 million) and a few other western countries, which have so far refused to cancel the debt. 

In case you are struggling with debt problems, it is best to consult experienced and qualified attorneys handling debt defense from a reputed law firm like Gillespie & Murphy, P.A. who will help you get out of the situation. But it is always better to avoid building up credit card debt because unnecessary debts can hinder your personal finance and damage your credit score.

What does debt have to do with climate?

In this time of climate emergency and urgent calls to investment for climate adaptation and mitigation, a question that must not be overlooked is that of debt. Indeed, Jubilee Scotland is worried to see the current debt levels in low-income countries increasing. Many low- and middle-income countries are struggling with slow economic growth and high […]
