Been wondering why there was no news on this in October when the loan was due...restructured on the down low(soft default).
Treasury is playing Russian roulette with the repayments and the international market hoping they will be able to raise another eurobond at a favourable rate and before the extension expires. Failure to attract the requisite rate or delaying too much to float it will produce a nasty funding squeeze.
Latest BROP update indicates that KE is about 59% buried in debt. Looks like KE is already in a ponzi funding fast lane.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
