Greece owes not only public creditors, but also hedge funds and speculators billion. The Finance Agency in Athens does not have these bonds. So far, the debt was in spite of all holes in the state budget always operated – now the situation is different

Greece is once again on the verge of bankruptcy and in addition to hundreds of billions. of debt to its euro partners and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to pay too high bills for hedge funds and other speculators. The Government of Alexis Tsipras is tough when it comes to the debt burden to renegotiate with public funding. Conflicts with aggressive investors but they seem to shy away yet.

As the euro-crisis state has its private creditors in 2012 forced a restructuring, some investors were from the fierce depreciation spared. Before the haircut hedge funds accumulated a Greek government bonds, which were under international law. In this paper Athens had no access.

the debt itself, have vanished into thin air?

The “Wall Street Journal” has all the timing of payments of Greece to the year 2054 published in summary form. The debt to the “holdouts” as the hedge funds and other objectors of haircut hot in the financial jargon are, however, not detected, it said in a footnote. Vanished into thin air, the bonds have no means.

“So far, the holdouts in Greece shall be paid,” said expert Robert Tancsa by the investment bank Morgan Stanley, the news agency dpa. The outstanding volume of bonds amounts to 3.4 billion euros. This would mean that Athens since 2012, more than three billion euros would have been transferred to the unruly investors.
