Pakistan’s Bizarro 2024 Bond
Pakistan is in crisis and its bonds are in the toilet. One of its bond series though, the 2024, is not like the others. It has one of the highest CAC vote thresholds we’ve seen anywhere in the modern era. But that’s not it; best we can tell, the process by which votes are counted appears to be some weird historical holdover. How? Why? What? In this episode, we try to suss out the implications of the weirdness in the bond. Our guess: This is going to be a nightmare to restructure.
