Land Bondholders Take Action Against Peru to Recover Debt

A land bondholder, Gramercy Funds Management LLC, a US billion dollar investment fund, recently filed a US $1.6 billion arbitration claim against the Republic of Peru for violations of the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement for failing to pay its defaulted bonds.
