Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Its no surprise to you that the emergency loan to Thames Water, is already proving highly profitable for the lenders.</p><p>Pimco, who along with other lenders is charging TW 9.75% interest, has already booked a 17% profit on the asset, as early trading of the bonds has led to a steep rise in their cost due to market interest in an asset paying that level of interest.</p><p>Creditors are having one final go at taking yet more of TW customers' money even as the service fails.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ThamesWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThamesWater</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a><br>h/t FT</p>

Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>So Thames Water has been allowed buy the Court to access the rescue loan organised by its largest creditors.... but that loan is at a stinging 9.75% interest rate.</p><p>Now, knowing as we do that interest is the cost of risk, we can see two things; the loan is structured with a high(er) risk of non-repayment than your mortgage....</p><p>and, while TW staying in the private sector it can still be drained of cash by its (so-called) investors.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/sewage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sewage</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ThamesWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThamesWater</span></a> </p><p>h/t FT</p>
