Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) — Charles Dallara, managing director
of the Institute of International Finance, told the BBC in an
interview that while “there is nothing” to stop hedge funds or
other Greek debt-holders seeking to trigger credit default swap
insurance to retrieve more of their money than they’d get under
the negotiated debt swap, that would eliminate the chance for a
“successful conclusion” of the deal.
“If too many go in that direction though, the system
breaks down, we will not have the successful conclusion of this
deal and then where will they be?” Dallara said, according to
the BBC, which included the comments in an e-mailed preview of
the interview to be aired on its Newsnight program tonight.
