    has Argentina forgotten something?

    Nothing about the Falkland Islands in the official communiqué.

    Obviously that must mean they now respect the rights of the people of the Falkland Islands to determine their own future.

    @1 Sounds like they are so fed up with Argentine whinging and whining, they want to make sure it won't happen again. What this is saying is that because of the mess Argentina has created with the bond issue, the G20 (-Agentina) realised they need to protect certain countries that are naive in relation to financial matters (or just greedy). I don't see how this helps Argentina though as it is for future issues.

    'Economy Minister Kicillof said that the Argentine delegation was “extremely pleased that the issue was included in the final document,” for the first time in the history of the G-20.'...'Our boy Kicillof', as Mr Think would say, isn't the brightest is he, celebrating that thanks to the complete incompetence, greed and naivety of the Argentinian Government, the G20 have felt it necessary to included the issue in a G20 meeting and document it. Any other government would be embarrassed to have created such a train wreck of an issue and their economy.

    Argentina make it sound like this is something new and that they are ones responsible for this great change.

    Mexico has a history of setting precedents in the bond market. In 2003, it became the first country to sell bonds in a U.S. public offering that included collective action clauses, paving the way for Brazil and Uruguay to do the same less than two months later, according to Gelpern. Eventually, the entire sovereign debt market followed.

    “Timerman added that on Monday he would be traveling to New York to resume talks on the development of a legal framework to regulate restructuring of foreign sovereign debt, a project that was suggested by Argentina ......”

    Debt is debt, you owe you pay. ” Restructured debt is still debt, the way Hector and co are carrying on they must believe that somehow Argentina will get some sort of 'special deal' and the new arrangements will forgive the debt.

    I don't think so!

    Hector tried to raise the Falkland's at the G20, but nobody was interested.

    This sovereign debt restructuring issue has been around for a long time. The IMF has been trying to get countries to sign onto a tribunal for debt work outs.
    It failed because no country wanted to give up their rights to restructure on their own terms.
    I have no idea why these Rgidiots don't understand this?

    While I agree that a country should be able to restructure...even file bankruptcy, but not on their own terms. Like when a person or business files it is overseen by a trustee and this should also be the case.

    At any rate......I do not see that “clause” changing the laws of the G20 nations. Regardless what the say at these kumbaya gatherings, the real authority lies in signed treaties and the law of each nation.

    Collective action clauses are pernicious - all they do is encourage the borrower to regard the repayment of his obligations as discretionary. CACs should be abandoned. If a country claims that it cannot pay its debt then it should have either to put up collateral or to assign a specific cash flow source to the repayment of the debt. There is no country that does not have assets and there is no country that does not have the ability to tax. There is therefore no country that can deny that it has the ability to deliver collateral. And all bonds and bank loans to that country should have to be similarly collateralized until the country brings its payments current.

    I have no objection to the communique. It is proposing that future sovereign bonds have this clause.

    It will effect which investors are willing to buy bonds and what interest rate they will accept but if it is all open and up front, no one can object.

    I suspect that after introducing this clause Argentina will try and find a way to issue debt without incorporating it so that it can get lowere rates OR it will struggle to raise any finance.

    To say nothing of the fact this relates to sovereign bonds and Argentina have surrendered their sovereignty by issuing their bonds under the law of another jurisdiction.

    This does not help Argetnina it just puts future restrictions on the terms it and other risky unstable countries can borrow at. It still leaves CFK and her accomplices with their current financing crises.

    annex

    noun
    noun: annex; plural noun: annexes; noun: annexe
    ˈanɛks/

    an addition to a document.
    “an annex to the report”

    To show how unimportant the ANNEX is, it had to be referred to in the communique. In point 12:
    ”We welcome the Financial Stability Board (FSB) proposal as set out in the Annex requiring global systemically important banks to hold additional loss absorbing capacity that would further protect taxpayers if these banks fail.“

    Seems nothing else in the ANNEX rated a mention in the communique.

    The fact is, that in diplomatic speak, it only makes it into the ANNEX if it could not be agreed upon by everyone to be in the communique.

    Great win Argentina. Changes nothing. Surprised the ”Malvinas” didn't make it in.

    My guess is that Argentina thinks that the law will be changed and will help them escape their current plight in New York. Obviously, to most people with half a brain, it will be of no use. But no doubt they will moan and bitch about how unfair their creditors are being 'when the whole word agrees it is not fair'.

    It seems that permanent members of this “club” exercise two main toils : 1) To point out the hypocrisy, double-face, falsehood of all Argentine foreign policy statements and actions, with no exceptions; in paralel with the loftiness, nobility and grandeur of the corresponding ones of the U.K. and U.S.A. Of course these last , self-evident as they are and have always been, need no defence, but thorough people are thorough people, and praise is deserved. 2) The same as 1) with respect to the fruitless, futile, idle, good for nothing, nugatory character of the afore-mentioned Argentine statements and actions in dealing with its objectives. Two simple question occurs : Aren´t more than thirty years since the S. Atlantic war, and more than ten since Argentine first default enough to convince the whole world of our condition as a failed state..? And, consequently: is it necessary for all of you to insist day after day on the same visit to the realm of boredom...? And a third question naturally arises: what POWERFUL stimuli may move this derogatory merry-go-round...?.

    @38 to be fair your English is better than my Spanish. That said, it still didn't make enough sense to reply properly. I think what you are getting at is that some (many) contribitors on here post negative comments on developments in Argentina and what would it take to change that?

    Firstly, your leaders could stop routinely trying to spread lies and make demands in areas where they have no ability to do so. I appreciate many people can be embarrassed by things their leaders say, but you can't blame the rest of the world for feeling that your representatives, well, represent you.

    Secondly, your population could behave less like a mob in occasions such as the visit of TV programmes such as Top Gear. Even if you think they were trying it on, which they vehemently deny, a set of number plates shouldn't be the cause of attempted murder.

    Add in economic mismanagement, debt default, corruption, dual currency rates, economic data misrepresentation etc and it's fair to say Argentina has a lot to be modest about. Despite this all we see from official channels are delusional statements and demands, whether that is to pretend that it didn't sign away its sovereignty when it accepted debt, that the UK should enter talks in accordance with a 50 year old UN resolution since superseded by an armed Argentine invasion, and many other examples.

    In short, stop acting like slippery conmen and thugs while demanding that everyone else rolls over and hands you whatever you desire.

    There are still those who believe Argentina's work at the international level looks at a sort of amnesty for current debt held by vulture funds. They are deluded.
    Argentina is working to create awareness and avoid other countries to fall in the trap, and also to pay their dues to Paul Singer and company. Not many knew about the vultures' practices. In a few months, thanks to the Argentina case, many have been discussing the carrion eaters' habits. (Actually, the nickname vulture is not entirely appropriate, as these birds fulfill a useful role by cleaning the countryside of dead animals).
    As I wrote here before, Singer and his acolytes were readying their bags for the cash after judge Griesa's ruling was endorsed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Instead, they will live to regret to have picked a fight with Argentina as their astute schemes are discussed in the international arena, and when appropriate mechanisms to prevent their parasitical practices are finally put in place.

    The G-20 declaration--just a start:
    Issues for further action -- “Given the challenges litigation poses and in order to strengthen the orderliness and predictability of the sovereign debt restructuring process, we welcome the international work on strengthened collective action and pari passu clauses. We call for their inclusion in international sovereign bonds and encourage the international community and private sector to actively promote their use.”

    Correct me if I am wrong, but surely the queston should be why is a new clause in a contract needed. If you borrow money ( the lender lends in good faith ) you should honour the contract and pay the money back. If you borrow money there must be in place collatoral in the small chance that you may default, that way the person lending the money either gets money or goods to the value of the default. Simple really. I have borrowed money in the past to buy a car and had I not paid the money back the baillifs with a court order would take my car away in lieu of the money. Who in their right mind is going to lend money to Argentina. Christ they think they are hard done by.

    You fucking liar.

    255 British military personnel and three Falkland Islanders died during the hostilities, ALL as a result of the cowardly actions of argies.

    The civilians were killed by “friendly fire” an awful oxymoron, which meant British forces killed them by accident.

    But why were the Brits there you cunt? Because the argie criminals invaded the islands, that’s why.

    You treated the Islanders like scum before 1982 (flying in rotten fruit, humiliating them with the white card)-but your country expected respect from people you bullied. How does that work?

    What comes round came round.

    Argentina's Nazis bullied the Islanders in 1982 and were removed. They were not wanted by the people born on the Islands.

    How many Argentines who were born on the Falklands fought in 1982?

    If you believe that the Islands are Argentine you have a slight problem.

    The 'Argentines' born on the Islands don't want to be Argentinian.

    People have known about vulture funds ever since there were vulture funds. The UK passed legislation against them in 2011. Argentina doesn't seem to have begun its crusade on behalf of the wretched of the earth until a court judgement went against it. But perhaps the most shameful aspect of the whole business is Argentina's attempt to present itself as a desperately poor African country while splurging its dwindling resources on bribes to the electorate and Peronist vanity projects.

    I´m afraid that you have been caught in a semantic booby-trap. Let us see:
    I wrote : “But the fact is that NO BRITISH civilian or military casualties were suffered during the OCCUPATION of the Islands............” And (WEBSTER´S ENCYCLOPEDIC UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY of the English Language- 1989 Edition) :
    (page 996 - column 3) “occupation” : (capitals mine)
    1.......................
    2.......................
    3.......................
    4 the ACT of occupying.
    5 the STATE of being occupied.

    Now, is it necessary to clarify that I was using the fourth and not the fifth meaning....? Yes, it is, when the person you are talking to despises you (HIS words) generously enough as to imagine his interlocutor unaware of what the whole world knows (namely the number of killed in both sides). And I took special care in writing BRITISH casualties, because our first one, Captain Giachino, belonged to the first “wave”. Despise the whole world (except yourself, I guess), if you like, Chris, but CAUTION is necessary. Laugh at my prescriptive grammar (you are entitled to do so), but mind your semantics.

    Well someone better at SEMANTICS would have used “during the process of occupying the Islands” or “as the occupation of the Islands proceeded” or “while occupying”. But using a word that could be a verb or noun isn't being very clear.

    The simple fact is that Argentina did militarily occupy the Islands for an extremely brief time and subsequently lost them forever.

    Wrap your semantics around that.

    @ 40 Iron Man

    Thank you very much for your answer. I have found its three initial paragraphs, and the first half of the fourth clear, precise and much to the point. I subscribe to them without reserve. We move forward :

    “Despite this, all we see from official channels are delusional statements and demands, whether that is to pretend that it didn´t sign away its sovereignity when it accepted debt....”. Delusional...? Well, it may be...

    WITH THE PROVISO, I must add, that debt has been the result of normal and regular transactions; and not of devious and deceitful maneuvers to inflate it beyond any boundaries, so as to make impossible its repayment without the loss of valuable natural resources, WHICH IS THE FINAL GOAL OF MODERN PIRATES. But these (the lenders) are on one side of the table. On the other are the borrowers in the Government (traitors far worse than any HAW-HAW or CAMBRIDGE FIVE you have known ).

    “....that the UK should enter talks in accordance with a 50 year old UN resolution since superseded by an armed Argentine invasion...”

    Well, we arrive at a delicate point. Kind as you have been with me, I willy-nilly smile at the idea (you won´t, certainly) that at this venture, we found EXCELLENT company: no less than Mrs. CLINTON, who as Secretary of State recommended the UK and Argentina to follow precisely this way , with the corresponding English outburst .

    “In short, stop acting like slippery conmen and thugs while demanding that everyone else rolls over and hands you whatever you desire”
    “Does that answer your question ?”

    It has ALMOST done it, thank you again. A little, but CRUCIAL precision is lacking: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECONCILE SUCH UNENVIABLE PICTURE OF OUR BEHAVIOR WITH THE STEADY FULFILLMENT OF OUR DUTIES WITH 93% OF OUR BONDHOLDERS, AND, FURTHERMORE, WITH THE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT THAT OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE VULTURES HAS GAINED ON THE WHOLE WORLD...?.

    93% of the bondholders accepted an ultimatum, “ we pay you 30 cents on the US$ or get nothing” 7% of bondholders want their money back with interest. You are going to say that some of the bondholders bought the bonds cheaply, that is correct but they bought bonds at 50 cents on the US$. All they want is 100% + interest and after all most of the bonds in question were sold under US law.

    55. It is far from “almost done”. Like parties are piling on, the holdins will most likely accelerate Q1 2015. In the end I think Arg will end up being finally forced to negotiate in good faith and it will end up with much more debt overall.
    I don't think this will happen in 2015.
    CFK is a known nutbag, Austral Elvis is dumb as a box of rocks and resorts to screaming and crying to get his way. That doesn't work in the real world.
    This will take years to fix.
    With Soy under U$400 BCRA will be tapped out by Aug 2015.
    Tapped out.
    Wait and see

    I don't know what most of u are talking about here, you all sound like paid puppets of the vulture funds.

    This is an obvious victory for the Argentinian Government and other governments that have huge debt.

    The US Federal Government also has huge debt. When the US government will default its debt then the American people will also benefit from the present steps to force the restructuring of debts.

    I´ll do. But I think that yours is not an answer to the last “precision” I required to Iron Man.
