Échéances cruciales de mars : L’Etat du Sénégal débourse 471 millions de dollars et honore ses engagements
The debate had been raging until now. Would Senegal be able to meet its heavy March debt obligations, particularly its Eurobonds? The good news arrived this Thursday.
According to Bloomberg, the State of Senegal finally honored the interest and principal of its foreign bonds before Friday's deadline, thus avoiding a potential default and preserving the country's financial credibility.
It reports that the Central Bank of West African States has transferred 380 million euros (438 million dollars) to holders of its euro-denominated bonds maturing in 2028 since last Friday.
The BCEAO also paid $33 million on dollar-denominated bonds maturing in 2048, Bloomberg adds. Therefore, for the Senegalese authorities, the matter of the March 13 payments is now "closed."
According to the financial group, which also specializes in economic and financial information, at least four bondholders have stated that they are aware of the payment made by the Senegalese authorities.
They are now waiting for the funds to be deposited into their accounts by the end of the week. The transfers are made through custodian banks, they say, which usually results in a slight delay.
