As Bitcoin rises and Trump is elected, the President of El Salvador has proposed to repurchase dollar bonds for the third time this year

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, as Bitcoin rises and the results of the U.S. elections are announced, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has proposed to repurchase dollar bonds for the third time this year. According to a statement released on Tuesday, the government proposed to repurchase a series of notes maturing from 2027 to 2034. The total outstanding principal of these securities exceeds $2.5 billion.The statement did not specify how the transaction would be paid for. However, a knowledgeable source indicated that the debt repurchase depends on new financing, the details of which have not been disclosed as this information is not yet public. Data shows that since Trump won the U.S. presidential election last week, El Salvador's debt yield has reached 4.7%, outperforming all emerging market countries except Ukraine.Investors have long believed that Trump's second term would help Bukele gain support for International Monetary Fund loans. New York-based economist Katrina Butt stated, "The market sees El Salvador as a 'Trump deal,' with expectations that a closer personal relationship between Bukele and Trump will benefit El Salvador, and they are unlikely to have enough cash for such a repurchase, likely needing to enter the market for financing the transaction."
