The owner of the refinery was declared bankrupt in 2019, and both

Their high risk of default (approximately 1.6 percent for Ba) is compensated by higher interest payments. Bad Debt is a loan that can not (partially or fully) be repaid by the debtor. The debtor is said to default on their debt. These types of debt are frequently repackaged and sold below face value. Buying junk bonds

SPIMEX calculates price indices for domestic exchange-traded and OTC-traded refined products. In 2022,

740-524: A more direct sense, more bankruptcies also occurred due both to increased debt cost caused by deflation and the reduced demand. At the household level, debts can also have detrimental effects — particularly when households make spending decisions assuming income will increase, or remain stable, in years to come. When households take on credit based on this assumption, life events can easily change indebtedness into over-indebtedness. Such life events include unexpected unemployment, relationship break-up, leaving

Of the $ 5 billion owed, $ 3.2 billion

962-420: A reference point for all other debt. There are deep, transparent, liquid, and open capital markets for Treasuries. Furthermore, Treasuries are issued in a wide variety of maturities, from one day to thirty years, which facilitates comparing the interest rates on other debt to a security of comparable maturity. In finance, the theoretical " risk-free interest rate " is often approximated by practitioners by using

1036-468: A repayment amount of 1.5 to 2.5 times the principle loan. Repayment periods are flexible; businesses can pay back the agreed-upon amount sooner, if possible, or later. In addition, business owners do not sell equity or relinquish control when using revenue-based financing. Lenders that provide revenue-based financing work more closely with businesses than bank lenders, but take a more hands-off approach than private equity investors . A syndicated loan

1110-428: A worldwide order to freeze $ 251 million of Antipinsky's assets and prevent the refinery from selling vacuum gas oil to other companies as a result of a lawsuit by VTB Commodities Trading .

A company may also issue bonds , which are debt securities . Bonds have

1258-533: Is a process whereby a new, large loan application is submitted in order to compensate for numerous outstanding loans. Some amongst those who are heavily indebted often resort to debt consolidation as a means to resolve their financial difficulties.

However, this varies from every claimant, in that their own eligibility for such

We are to be careful to meet all financial engagements promptly when due, if at all possible, remembering that we are to 'Provide things honest in

1480-482: Is considered paramount in determining the riskiness of an investment, under the notion that it becomes more risking under more debt.

This effect may be termed usury , while the term "usury" in other contexts refers only to an excessive rate of interest, in excess of a reasonable profit for the risk accepted. In international legal thought, odious debt is debt that is incurred by a regime for purposes that do not serve the interest of the state. Such debts are thus considered by this doctrine to be personal debts of

1776-414: Is occasionally a matter of debate in the financial and institutional sectors, often ranging between analysts towards professors, generally concerning ethics involved in different areas.

Both arguments have resulted in greater debate amongst legislators in different nations, amidst demands for further regulation and more decreases in lending restrictions. Debt consolidation has also been an area of interest for loan sharks , leaving those heavily indebted vulnerable to extortionate rates. The idea behind debt consolidation

1924-518: Is seen as a risky but potentially profitable investment. Bonds are debt securities , tradeable on a bond market . A country's regulatory structure determines what qualifies as a security. For example, in North America, each security is uniquely identified by a CUSIP for trading and settlement purposes. In contrast, loans are not securities and do not have CUSIPs (or the equivalent). Loans may be sold or acquired in certain circumstances, as when

1998-564: Is that many people, in particular those who are poor, have no access to affordable credit.

A company may use various kinds of debt to finance its operations as

2072-458: Is the ratio of income available to the amount of debt service due (including both interest and principal amortization, if any). The higher the debt service coverage ratio, the more income is available to pay debt service, and the easier and lower-cost it will be for a borrower to obtain financing. Different debt markets have somewhat different conventions in terminology and calculations for income-related metrics. For example, in mortgage lending in

2146-419: Is the ratio of the total amount of the loan to the total value of the collateral securing the loan. For example, in mortgage lending in the United States, the loan-to-value concept is most commonly expressed as a " down payment ." A 20% down payment is equivalent to an 80% loan to value. With home purchases, value may be assessed using the agreed-upon purchase price, and/or an appraisal . A debt obligation

2368-575: The debt-to-GDP ratio was very high. Economic agents were heavily indebted. This excess of debt, equivalent to excessive expectations on future returns, accompanied asset bubbles on the stock markets. When expectations corrected, deflation and a credit crunch followed. Deflation effectively made debt more expensive and, as Fisher explained, this reinforced deflation again, because, in order to reduce their debt level, economic agents reduced their consumption and investment. The reduction in demand reduced business activity and caused further unemployment. In

Moody's uses the letters Aaa Aa A Baa Ba B Caa Ca C , where ratings Aa-Caa are qualified by numbers 1-3.

This can happen due to inflation or deflation , so it can happen even though

3034-509: The borrower and the lender are using the same currency . Some argue against debt as an instrument and institution, on a personal, family, social, corporate and governmental level. Some Islamic banking forbids lending with interest even today. In hard times, the cost of servicing debt can grow beyond the debtor's ability to pay, due to either external events (income loss) or internal difficulties (poor management of resources). Debt with an associated interest rate will increase through time if it

Construction of the refinery was completed two years after it commenced, with the first phase of the facility beginning operations in November 2006 with a capacity of 400,000 tons of oil per annum.

3848-740: The idea that the further you are from cash (as with a credit card or other forms of payment), the less transparent it is and the less aware you are of how much you have spent. The less transparent or further away from cash the form of payment employed is, the less an individual feels the "pain of paying" and thus is likely to spend more. Furthermore, the differing physical appearance/form that credit cards have from cash may cause them to be viewed as "monopoly" money vs. real money, luring individuals to spend more money than they would if they only had cash available. Besides these more formal debts, private individuals also lend informally to other people, mostly relatives or friends. One reason for such informal debts

3922-402: The interval, such as annually or monthly. Such loans are also colloquially called " bullet loans ", particularly if there is only a single payment at the end – the "bullet" – without a "stream" of interest payments during the life of the loan.

Commonly, people in industrialized nations use consumer debt to purchase houses, cars and other things too expensive to buy with cash on hand.

This is primarily because of the transparency effect and consumer's "pain of paying." The transparency effect refers to

Total production in the first six months of that year was less than half of the oil refined in 2018. Describing

These elements, which formed part of a modular refinery , were not ultimately used after being held in customs clearance for approximately five years. Eventually, the components for the refinery were sold by the Russian Fund for Federal Property following an internal review of Transneft's business, which determined that refining
