Greek debt swap take-up neared 95 pct before deadline-official | Reuters
(Reuters) - Nearly 95 percent of bondholders had signed up for a debt swap to lighten Greece's debt burden an hour before the 2000 GMT deadline expired, a senior Greek government official said on Thursday.
"About an hour before the deadline expired, the participation rate was nearing 95 percent and responses were still coming in," a Greek government official told Reuters.
That meant Greece had easily topped the 90 percent target for participation it had set itself, in a major boost for the debt-stricken country.
