ft.com/content/85a4e5b9-c536-4bfb-8dee-32bbed60311e
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.
Iran oil exports hit 6-year high as west prepares sanctions: Surge in crude sales to China exposes limits of US and EU attempts to rein in Islamic republic
ft.com/content/00bb5653-e9aa-4af1-8f9e-705137947b32
Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions
- Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.
- The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.
- Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.
- Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

Ghana fails to reach debt deal with bondholders: Ghana has failed to strike a deal with a group of international bondholders to restructure $13 billion of debt ...
reuters.com/markets/ghana-fails-reach-debt-deal-with-bondholders-2024-04-15/
Quick Glance: Ghana Fails to Reach Debt Agreement with Bondholders
- Ghana was unable to reach an agreement with a group of international bondholders to restructure $13 billion in debt. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the bondholder group rejected parts of the proposed plan.
- The IMF argued that the agreement was not aligned with a debt analysis that determines a country's capacity for debt. The bondholder group, among other things, declined the option to maintain the original value of the bond with a longer term and lower interest rate.
- In December 2022, Ghana, the world's second-largest cocoa producer, defaulted on a majority of its $30 billion external debt, following a surge in debt costs and inflation as it was cut off from international markets.
- The failure of the debt agreement represents a setback for Ghana's efforts to recover from default and economic crisis.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-04/why-g20-common-framework-for-debt-relief-isn-t-helping-poor-nations
Quick Glance: Why G20 'Common Framework' for Debt Relief Is Ineffective for Poor Nations
- Over half of the world's low-income countries face high debt distress or default, despite the 2020 agreement among the 20 largest economies for easier loan restructuring. Progress in actual relief has been slow, partly due to disagreements between wealthy nations and China as a major creditor.
- By the end of 2022, the poorest countries collectively owed their creditors approximately $1.1 trillion, surpassing the 2012 debt level. The financial strain from the Covid-19 crisis forced heavily indebted governments to allocate funds they lacked to fortify healthcare systems and assist citizens.
- Major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, raised interest rates to counter inflationary pressures arising from escalating grain and fuel prices following the Ukraine conflict. The resulting appreciation of the dollar exacerbated the situation for international borrowers.
- In March, Zambia successfully concluded negotiations for $3 billion in eurobonds after three years, illustrating some progress but highlighting the arduous nature of the process. Notably, several countries, including Zambia, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Lebanon, and Argentina, are grappling with defaults or severe debt distress.
