Eskom’s debt woes: Globally respected Debtwire offers its take
Alec Hogg asks the Head of EMEA Credit Research at Debtwire, Nicholas Smith-Saville, about the company's perspective on Eskom's debt woes.
JOHANNESBURG — In this interview, BizNews editor and publisher Alec Hogg asks the Head of EMEA Credit Research at Debtwire, Nicholas Smith-Saville, about the company's perspective on Eskom's debt woes. Debtwire is well-known for its analysis of debt markets worldwide and in-depth credit analysis. As a result, Smith-Saville provides a much needed global perspective on Eskom's financial conundrum. Interestingly, Smith-Saville says it's not all bad news for as long as Eskom can start to get itself on the right trajectory and avoid becoming a target for political exploitation. – Gareth van Zyl
