New York state lawmakers are considering changing a long-standing law that currently imposes a 9% interest rate on defaulted sovereign emerging-market bonds. The proposed legislation aims to block funds from sovereign bond litigation, a move that the IMF warns could complicate and prolong debt restructurings in emerging markets.
