The fact that in order to trigger a default in this particular bond means arrears greater than 3%, which Is a lot higher than the industry average making it a considerable event.
This is a global slowdown happening as we see economies in Europe falling into recession already, AUS in a GDP per capita recession, talk of China growth slowing to 2% in years to come and the US halting rate rises / talk of stopping quantitative tightening as well as bond yields inverting so no one will be sparred or is being sparred.
