Announcement: Moody´s comments on Greek debt exchange

(09.03.) Moody‘s Investors Service says that it considers Greece (C/no outlook) to have defaulted per Moody‘s default definitions further to the conclusion of an exchange of EUR177 billion of Greece‘s debt that is governed by Greek law for bonds issued by the Greek government, GDP-linked securities, European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) notes. Foreign-law bonds are eligible for the same offer, and Moody‘s expects a similar debt exchange to proceed with these bondholders, as well as the holders of state-owned enterprise debt that has been guaranteed by the state, in the coming weeks.
