底特律推出债务削减计划
CHICAGO, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Emergency financial manager of Detroit, a city in the U.S. state of Michigan, on Friday filed a detailed 1 debt-cutting plan in a federal court, with the hope of bringing the city out of bankruptcy 2.
The plan, which still awaits approval from a bankruptcy judge, aims to help the Motor City, which has 18 billion U.S. dollars in debt, shed financial burdens and pour money to improving the city' s infrastructure 3.
With the plan, retirees would see cuts to benefits, while creditors 4 such as banks would see just a fraction of what they're owed.
The 120-page plan has also outlined cuts to various groups of creditors, and provided new details about ongoing 5 attempts to spin off the city's Water and Sewerage Department, prevent the Detroit Institute of Arts masterpieces from a fire sale and to restructure 11.5 billion dollars in unsecured claims.
"We must move swiftly to emerge from bankruptcy so that the financial distress 6 harming the city can end," the Detroit News quoted Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr as saying in a statement Friday.
Orr maintained that the plan provided the best path forward for all parties to resolve their respective issues and "for Detroit to become once again a city in which people want to invest, live and work."
The debt-ridden Detroit filed bankruptcy on July 18, 2013.
