    2020-03-26

    A mere few weeks ago, the hypothesis that the COVID-19 virus would not affect the African continent was still being widely propagated. The theory that the virus does not survive in warm weather has since been debunked and the number of African countries that have recorded confirmed cases of coronavirus is growing rapidly. On 18 March 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that Africa has to prepare for the worst.

    aimed at putting Spain on a par with other EU jurisdictions, is yet to be
    seen. However, what is clear is that the latest round of amendments
    has substantially improved the possibility of reaching an out of court
    refinancing settlement in Spain.
    Historically, in relation to syndicated facilities, out of court refinancing
