Rodrigo Olivares-Caminal and Rosario Bustillo, of the Sovereign Advisory Practice, have published a new article in the Business Law Review Wolters Kluwer focusing on advances in sovereign debt restructuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article examines Sri Lanka\u2019s 2024 sovereign debt restructuring, following the country\u2019s default in 2022 and its subsequent IMF program. With nearly 98% creditor participation, this debt restructuring marks an important milestone not only for Sri Lanka\u2019s economic recovery but also for sovereign debt practices more broadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways from our analysis include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Innovative bond structures such as Macro-Linked Bonds (GDP-linked) and the world\u2019s first Governance-Linked Bonds, which tie financial terms to governance reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Transparency and accountability through the role of information covenants and reporting requirements in strengthening trust between sovereigns and creditors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Setting a new precedent for how contractual design can align incentives, balance risks, and encourage reform, offering lessons for future sovereign debt restructurings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case highlights how legal and financial engineering can be leveraged to create sustainable solutions for debt-distressed countries while promoting stronger governance and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
