Ecuador said 98.5% of bondholders agreed to exchange the nation’s overseas debt for new notes, completing the restructuring of $17.4 billion in bonds.
“The enormous and notable work by Ecuador’s technical team will allow us to keep international financing open and focus on restarting the economy,” Finance Minister Richard Martinez said in a statement.
