PM In NYC To Talk Superbond
posted (December 5, 2016)
Prime Minister Dean Barrow is in New York on superbond business. He left on Saturday and returns on Wednesday. He is accompanied by Financial Secretary Joe Waight, and Economic Ambassador Mark Espat.

As we've reported, the Government has announced to bondholders that due to what it calls "serious economic and financial challenges currently facing the country," they need to restructure the Superbond again - this is after it was restructured in 2013.

A government press release does not say what the Prime Minister hopes to accomplish with this meeting, but government hopes to re-schedule payments before the next payment becomes due in February, 2017.
