Mexico and creditors agree on debt relief plan
Mexico and its creditor banks reach a debt relief framework amid two days of talks in Washington. The package offers three options to reduce old loans by up to 35 percent, lower interest to 6.25 percent, or provide new loans, potentially cutting Mexico’s annual debt service to commercial banks by about one third though final relief depends on each bank’s participation. President Salinas hailed the accord as paving the way for growth, warning results will not be immediate.
