Therefore, only current maturities and arrears were treated, and an agreement was reached that the consolidated amounts would be reimbursed over a period of 14 years, including a grace period of three years.

Or because of a temporary shortfall in exports, or a temporary lack of access to foreign lending, or a bunching of debt maturities?

In any case, the eurozone seems stuck with near zero rates at increasingly long maturities. What does this actually mean for its investors and debtors?

In December 2004, Congo reached an agreement with Paris Club creditors to treat the maturities falling due between 2004 and 2007 under the Naples Terms.

In June 2005 Peru offered to prepay at par up to 2 billion in principal maturities of its non ODA debt falling due between August 2005 and December 2009.

Official bankruptcy, a regular occurrence, required prolonging maturities on state debt and reducing interest payments. But this solution raised the cost of new borrowing, so France began to consider the British model.

In particular, Europe s politicians are balking at steps that would implicate taxpayers directly. The Greek government has asked Europe to swap existing debts with new debts to lock in low interest rates and long maturities.

They might choose to do so, but mostly they just roll them over by issuing new bonds. The longer the bonds maturities, the less frequently governments have to come to the market for new loans.

Following this approach, the country offers to exchange old bonds for new bonds with a lower face value and or lower interest payments and longer maturities. If most investors accept this offer, the restructuring occurs successfully.

First, as Lee Buchheit, the attorney who oversaw the Greek private restructuring, has proposed, maturities on official Greek debt could be greatly extended. A simple structure would be to make all debt payable over 40 years, carrying an interest rate of 2 .

Moreover, the new federal bonds very long maturities meant that there was no rollover risk. It would have been very dangerous to expose the federal government to this danger, given that the operation was rightly perceived at the outset as extremely risky.

This week, Greece defaulted on its payments to the IMF, rightly choosing pensions over debt service. The country s creditors should now negotiate a consensual debt reduction through some combination of lower (and fixed) interest rates, reduced face value of debt, and very long maturities.

And so you can see this current coming up in this case, the Humboldt Current that comes all the way out to the Galapagos Islands, and this deep undersea current, the Cromwell Current, that upwells around the Galapagos.

Given current economic projections, this will mean a tripling of Ireland's ODA above current levels.
