Belgium Debt Terms Agreed to Forgo Interest on War Loans
The United States and Belgium reached an agreement to fund the Belgian war debt with no interest on $171,066,000 loaned during the war and a 62 year repayment plan. Post armistice debt of about $246,000,000 will be repaid over 62 years with 3 percent interest after ten years, with partial remission to ease Belgium’s finances. The plan, hailed by Coolidge and the Debt Commission, aims to reflect a special status for Belgium unlike Britain and rests on Wilson’s Versailles commitments.
