Kuwait's Global debtors onboard for restructuring

Kuwait's Global Investment House says most of its creditors have agreed to a restructuring plan, as the country's largest investment bank looks to resolve a $3 billion debt default.

KUWAIT CITY —

Kuwait's Global Investment House says most of its creditors have agreed to a restructuring plan, as the country's largest investment bank looks to resolve a $3 billion debt default.

Global had been meeting with creditors to restructure almost $3 billion in loans on which it had defaulted. It previously announced the restructuring plan, but reports surfaced that some creditors had raised concerns.
