Countries facing potential defaults include the Maldives \u2014 which was recently bailed out by India \u2014 and Argentina.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Defaults by a different name?<\/strong> Argentina\u2019s President Javier Milei <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boletinoficial.gob.ar\/detalleAviso\/primera\/314386\/20240923\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">okayed a decree last month<\/a> that allows swaps of maturing debt for new debt at market interest rates without prior approvals from legislators. These \u201cbuyback\u201d transactions are expected to become more common, leading to less cut and dry notions of what it means for a country to default, senior sovereign ratings analyst at S&P Giulia Filocca explained. Despite appearing distinct from traditional defaults, such transactions can be categorized as distressed exchanges if done to avoid an outright default, Filocca adds. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who's safe for now?<\/strong> Zambia and Sri Lanka have managed to rebound from defaults, the FT said. Meanwhile, Kenya and Pakistan narrowly avoided defaults this year thanks to new loans \u2014 with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.pk\/node\/2417451\/pakistan\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Saudi<\/a> and the UAE among those extending financial support to Pakistan \u2014 and IMF bailouts. Despite this, they are unable to tap bond markets for refinancing due to high borrowing costs charged to governments in similar situations. Ghana recently exited default after restructuring debts, and Ukraine successfully refinanced over USD 20 bn in debt payments following a moratorium on payments due to Russia's invasion. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BUT- Nations that have restructured their debts carry that legacy in terms of lower<\/strong> <strong>ratings. <\/strong>\u201cThat points to the possibility of repeat defaults,\u201d Emea sovereign specialist at S&P Global Ratings Frank Gill said. Fiscal alternatives and current account gains on the back of FDI may help to stave off defaults, but FDI performance has shown little signs of an uptick, Gill added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Helmerich & Payne exits Adnoc Drilling:<\/strong> US oil and gas well drilling company <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.helmerichpayne.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Helmerich<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.helmerichpayne.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">& Payne<\/a> (H&P) fully divested its stake in Abu Dhabi National Oil Company\u2019s (Adnoc) drilling unit, Adnoc Drilling, in a USD 197 mn transaction, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/10\/1095.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement (pdf)<\/a>.
